Accelerated Options Help Students Finish Their Degree Faster at MCC

To help students complete their program faster – and get the most for their time and money – Middlesex Community College offers accelerated options, including Mini-mesters, summer sessions, and a WinterSession starting on Tuesday, January 2, 2024!
“MCC makes education more accessible with customizable and affordable options to complete a degree, certificate or industry credential,” said Scott O’Neil, MCC’s Dean of Enrollment Services. “Whether you are planning to transfer to a four-year school, enter the workforce, or advance in your career, we have options that will help you fit classes into your life. This flexibility often makes the difference in one’s ability to get an education.”
Part of MCC’s Spring 2024 semester, MCC’s three-week WinterSession provides students with an early start. Students can keep up their momentum or jumpstart their education without having to take a long break between semesters. While most other schools are closed, students can complete their general education requirements and earn transferable college credits.

Offered twice each in the fall and spring, MCC’s eight-week Mini-mesters make it easier for students to balance an education with their professional and personal responsibilities. The shorter schedule allows students to take more classes throughout the semester, keeping them on track to reach their goals faster.
All WinterSession and Mini-mester courses offer the same content, academic standards and number of instructional hours as classes during the traditional 15-week semester. Combined with a choice of on-campus, online, hybrid and hyflex course formats, MCC’s accelerated sessions make getting an education easier.
