MCC Offers Flexible Options to Help Students Succeed

Middlesex Community College’s Spring 2023 Mini-mester II has options for students of all stages in their lives. Students who are close to completing their degree or are ready to get a jumpstart before Fall can choose from a variety of flexible and affordable options. Mini-mester II classes begin on Monday, March 27.

“As a community college, Middlesex is in a unique position to allow students to start their education when they are ready,” said Jillian Freitas-Haley, MCC’s Assistant Dean of Admissions. “Mini-mester II is the perfect time for students to work toward a degree, certificate or industry credential to advance on their academic and professional paths. Whether a student is at the beginning of their academic journey or close to the end, the eight-week courses are a low-risk, high-reward investment that can be completed on their own terms.”

The accelerated eight-week Mini-mesters offer the same content, academic standards, and number of instructional hours as courses scheduled during the traditional 15-week semester. Students can earn transferable college credit while completing general education requirements.

Subjects taught as part of Mini-mester II include the arts and humanities, business, social science, and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Classes may be offered on-campus, online, hybrid or hyflex.

All students – including those enrolled in Mini-mester II classes – may qualify for financial aid. MCC encourages students to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to find out their eligibility.
