Start Early This Spring with MCC’s Accelerated WinterSession

As part of the Spring 2024 semester, Middlesex Community College will run a three-week WinterSession starting on Tuesday, January 2. Registration is now open for accelerated courses that offer the same content, academic standards and number of instructional hours as classes during the traditional 15-week semester.

“Whether you’re enrolled as a full- or part-time student – or just looking to take a class or two – MCC’s WinterSession is an affordable and flexible option,” said Scott O’Neil, MCC’s Dean of Enrollment Services. “By starting our Spring semester classes early on, students can keep up their momentum or get a head start, providing a perfect opportunity to reach their goals. Many WinterSession classes are also offered online for convenience.”

While most schools are on break, MCC’s WinterSession allows students to earn college credit and complete their degree requirements faster. This keeps students on track to graduate – and may help them finish early – as well as helps them fit more classes overall into their schedules.

Class options include English, Business, Marketing, History, Health and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). For students new to MCC and college, there is also a chance to register for First Year Experience seminars, which introduce new students to MCC and better prepares them for college-level courses and expectations.

MCC will offer two additional accelerated sessions in the Spring 2024 semester. Mini-mester I starts on the same date as the Spring 2024 15-week traditional semester on Monday, January 22. Mid-way through the semester, Mini-mester II will begin on Monday, March 25.

“MCC provides a variety of options to help you fit education into your busy life,” O’Neil said. “WinterSession is another example of how MCC can make getting a degree, certificate or industry credential possible.”
