This spring and summer, Middlesex Community College is offering flexible and affordable options to allow students to jumpstart or advance their careers. Accelerated and flexible options help students complete their programs faster and make the most of their time. MCC’s Spring 2026 Mini-mester II begins Monday, March 23, while the summer sessions begin June 1.
“You asked for more flexibility, and we listened,” said Kayla Caron, MCC’s Dean of Enrollment. “Our eight‑week format is designed to fit your life, with intentionally crafted courses that help you stay focused, supported, and steadily moving toward graduation. We’re here to help you reach your goals at the pace that’s right for you.”
In both the spring and summer, MCC’s accelerated courses provide the same content, academic standards, and number of instructional hours as classes scheduled during the traditional 15-week semester.
MCC’s eight-week Mini-mester II allows students to take more classes throughout the Spring semester. This keeps them on track to reach their goals faster. Students will gain the knowledge and skills needed to enter the workforce or transfer to a four-year school.
During the summer, students can take advantage of the time to advance their academic plans, finish general education requirements, earn transferable credits, and update skills. MCC’s four summer sessions range from three, five and eight weeks long.
- Summer Quickstart: three weeks, June 1 to June 18
- Summer Session One: five weeks, June 1 to July 2
- Summer Session Two: eight weeks, June 1 to July 28
- Summer Session Three: five weeks, July 13 to August 13
Mini-mester and summer course options include a variety of subjects, such as the liberal arts, business, social science, legal studies and public service, and STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). All students taking classes at MCC have access to award-winning student support services to guide them to reach their goals. This includes free tutoring, library services, and advising for academic, career, transfer and financial support.
