Take the Plunge on Possibilities This Summer with Classes at MCC

Featuring a variety of flexible and affordable options, Middlesex Community College’s Summer 2024 semester will get students on the fast track to success. Students can start a degree, certificate or industry credential to prepare for transfer to a four-year institution or advance in their career.

“Understanding that summer is a busy time, Middlesex makes it easier for you to fit education into your schedule,” said Arlene Rodríguez, MCC’s Provost and Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs. “While you still receive the same content, academic standards, and number of instructional hours as courses scheduled during the traditional 15-week semester, you can take advantage of shorter sessions to complete more classes in less time. This summer, finish credits faster, balance coursework with other responsibilities, and start and end on your own terms.”

During the summer, MCC’s sessions range from three, five and eight weeks long. Middlesex will offer four opportunities to start throughout the summer, beginning Tuesday, May 28.

· Summer Quickstart: three weeks, May 28 to June 14

· Summer Session One: five weeks, May 28 to June 27

· Summer Session Two: eight weeks, May 28 to July 29

· Summer Session Three: five weeks, July 8 to August 8

Summer offers students the perfect opportunity to jumpstart academic plans, finish general education requirements, earn transferable college credits, and update skills with professional development. Students can take classes whether they are visiting for the summer or planning to start a degree or certificate at MCC.

Throughout the year, Middlesex offers on-campus, online, hybrid and hyflex classes for students to choose which options work best for their schedules and learning styles. Each of MCC’s over 80 programs feature hands-on learning experiences inside and outside of the classroom to help students discover their path.

All of MCC’s courses come with access to targeted and free student support services to guide students to reach their goals. Options include tutoring and academic, transfer, career and financial advising.

To show prospective students and their families what the college has to offer, MCC will host a Lowell Open House at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 1. Participants can meet with faculty and staff from many of MCC’s programs and student service areas, as well as take a tour of the Lowell campus.

“Register for classes now and learn how we can help you turn your dreams into reality,” Rodríguez said.
