Middlesex Community College has been ranked No. 1 on the 2018 list of Best Online Degrees in Boston by GreatValueColleges.net. Additionally, MCC has been ranked No. 4 on the 2018 list of Best Online Community Colleges in Massachusetts by TheBestColleges.org.

“With the rising tuition costs and societal shifts, more students are looking to community college as a valuable alternative – but many don't know there are online options like MCC,” said Elizabeth Franklin, School Outreach Manager for TheBestColleges.org.

“For more than 20 years, Middlesex has taken a consistently innovative approach to helping students succeed in online courses. MCC’s online courses are taught by highly trained faculty who are committed to ensuring that every student has an engaging learning experience. Our growing online enrollments supports these recent rankings,”

said James Mabry, Middlesex Community College President.

Middlesex currently offers 10 associate degree programs and five certificate programs that can be completed entirely online. Hundreds of online course offerings – as well as hybrid courses, which combine online and face-to-face instruction – are also offered.

“Middlesex is proud of its high quality online learning program. These acknowledgements from GreatValueColleges.net and TheBestColleges.org reflect the teaching skill and content expertise of our online instructors and their investment in student success. Middlesex works to provide online education in a way that promotes meaningful learning and helps students to reach their educational and career goals,” said Matthew Olson, Dean of Social Science, Interdisciplinary Studies & Online/Weekend Education.

Students who take courses online at Middlesex complete the same high-quality coursework as those who take courses on campus. And, online students earn the same course credits – which are transferrable to bachelor’s degree programs.

Classes begin Tuesday, Sept. 4, on the Bedford and Lowell campuses, and online. Financial aid is available for those who qualify.
