To help students complete their program faster and get the most for their time, Middlesex Community College offers accelerated options. This includes Mini-mesters and a Wintersession as part of the Spring 2025 semester, starting on Thursday, January 2, 2025.
“Starting at MCC is one of the best ways to save time and money with flexible course formats and the availability of free college offered by the state,” said Jennifer Migliozzi, MCC’s Assistant Dean of Admissions. “We have options to help fit education into your life, whether you’re planning to transfer to a four-year institution, enter the workforce, or advance in your career. This flexibility can make a huge difference in your ability to complete a degree, certificate or industry credential.”
MCC’s three-week Wintersession provides students with an early start to the Spring
semester. Students can keep up their momentum or jumpstart their education without
having to take a long break between semesters. While most other schools are closed,
students can complete their general education requirements and earn transferable college
credits.
Offered twice each in the fall and spring, MCC’s eight-week Mini-mesters make it easier
for students to balance an education with their professional and personal responsibilities.
The shorter schedule allows students to take more classes throughout the semester,
keeping them on track to reach their goals faster.
All Wintersession and Mini-mester courses offer the same content, academic standards
and number of instructional hours as classes during the traditional 15-week semester.
Combined with a choice of on-campus, online, hybrid and hyflex course formats, MCC’s
accelerated sessions make getting an education easier.
No matter a student’s age or income, community college is now free in Massachusetts! The MassEducate and MassReconnect programs allow at Massachusetts residents who have not yet earned a bachelor’s degree to attend MCC for free.
“The Spring 2025 semester will feature a variety of classes, support services and resources to help you reach your goals,” Migliozzi said. “Register now and get an early start!”
