For over 20 years, Middlesex has designed award-winning online curriculums that allow students to interact with content, professors and their fellow students in immersive and meaningful ways. Online courses will run via three primary learning modalities, including asynchronous online, synchronous online and a hybrid blend of online and face-to-face.

In asynchronous online learning, instructors and students interact with course materials, assignments and each other through Blackboard. While there are no live classes that meet in real-time, students can make an appointment to meet with their instructor. Students taking synchronous online courses attend live classes at specific dates and times, and engage with professors and classmates in a live, remote setting using a camera and microphone.

Blended face-to-face with online courses allow students to complete coursework online and come to campus only to finish practical experiences in a safe and controlled setting while following MCC’s strict safety protocols and social distancing.

MCC’s Spring 2021 semester includes a traditional 15-week session and two eight-week accelerated Mini-mesters. Covering the same content, maintaining the same academic standards, and containing the same number of instructional hours as courses scheduled in the traditional 15-week semester, Mini-mesters allow students to earn credits in a variety of subjects, including English, science, history, social science, mathematics and more.
