Middlesex Community College provides flexible and affordable options for students who are close to completing their degree or certificate. For students looking to start their education now, Middlesex will offer a second chance to start the Spring 2025 semester with the accelerated Mini-mester II starting on Monday, March 24.

β€œAt 51ΑΤΖζ, students have multiple options when it comes to starting or continuing their education, including our Spring Mini-mester II,” said Scott O’Neil, 51ΑΤΖζ’s Dean of Enrollment Services. β€œIn just eight weeks, our students can work toward their program of study, earn transferable college credits, and get on track to reach their goals. This offering is a quick, high-reward way for students to earn their degree, certificate or industry credential, whether they’re at the beginning or close to the end of their academic journey.”

The accelerated eight-week Mini-mester offers the same content, academic standards, and number of instructional hours as courses scheduled during the traditional 15-week semester. Students can earn transferable college credit while completing general education requirements.
