The First-Year Experience (FYE) Program at Middlesex Community College is designed to support first-year students as they transition to college life. It’s not too late to register for spring-semester, courses begin Tuesday, Jan. 21.
At the core of MCC’s FYE Program is the “First-Year Experience Seminar,” a one-credit Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) course that is linked with a three-credit introductory college-level course to form an FYE Learning Community. Students learn essential success skills, behaviors and strategies that are necessary for the successful completion of their college classes.

“National research has shown what we have known all along – students are more successful in completing courses, in graduation rates, and in overall achievement when they are personally engaged with their college,” said Jo Mucci, Director of First-Year Experience and Student Success. “The FYE Program at Middlesex makes students aware of academic and co-curricular opportunities, thus helping them become more involved and successful in their studies.”

FYE courses foster a strong sense of community through the use of small classroom settings, group projects, presentations, and course offerings that are topical and accessible to all students. FYE students also work with advisors to create a unique academic and financial plan for their education and future.
