MCC’s Spring Term Gets Early Start with Accelerated WinterSession!

As part of the Spring 2023 semester, Middlesex Community College will run a three-week WinterSession starting on Tuesday, January 3. The accelerated session is the perfect time for students to get on track to reach their goals and start off the semester strong!

“As a community college, Middlesex is in a unique position to offer flexible course options and formats that better fit the needs of our diverse population of students,” said Scott O’Neil, MCC’s Dean of Enrollment Services. “By offering Spring semester classes early on, current students can keep up their momentum, while new students can get a head start. Many WinterSession classes are also offered online for convenience and flexibility.”

WinterSession allows students to complete degree requirements faster, as well as helps them fit more classes overall into their schedules. This keeps students on track toward graduation – and may even provide them with the opportunity to graduate early.

During WinterSession, students can take classes and get an early start on the Spring semester. Courses cover the same content, maintain the same academic standards, and contain the same number of in-class instructional hours as classes during the traditional 15-week semester.

Course subjects as part of WinterSession include English, Business, Marketing, History, Health and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). There is also a chance to register for First Year Experience seminars, which introduces new students to MCC and better prepares them for college.

In addition to the 15-week class schedule, MCC will offer two additional accelerated sessions. Mini-mester I will start on Monday, January 23, while Mini-mester II begins Monday, March 27.

“At Middlesex, we want to provide our students with a variety of options to help them fit education into their busy lives,” O’Neil said. “WinterSession is another example of how MCC makes college flexible and accessible.”
