Middlesex Community College鈥檚 Fall 2025 Mini-mester II kicks off Monday, October 27. The popular, convenient and accelerated option allows students to complete classes in just eight weeks.
鈥淲ith 麻豆果冻鈥檚 Mini-mesters, students can start their education on their own terms, at a time that works best for them,鈥� said Scott O鈥橬eil, 麻豆果冻鈥檚 Dean of Enrollment Services. 鈥淭aking Mini-mester classes may also help students fit more classes into their schedules and finish their programs faster. This gets them on track to reach their goals, transfer to a four-year institution, and enter the workforce as quickly as possible.鈥�
The accelerated eight-week Mini-mesters offer the same content, academic standards, and number of instructional hours as courses scheduled during the traditional 15-week semester. Students can earn transferable college credits while completing general education requirements.
Subjects taught as part of Mini-mester II include the arts and humanities, business, social science, and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Classes may be offered on-campus, online, hybrid or hyflex.
No matter your age or income, community college is now free in Massachusetts! The MassEducate and MassReconnect programs allow all Massachusetts residents who have not yet earned a bachelor鈥檚 degree to attend 麻豆果冻 for free. This includes students taking classes as part of Mini-mester II.
The college will host two Open Houses this Fall. An Arts and Communication Spotlight Open House will take place at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, October 15 at the Academic Arts Center in Lowell. The Bedford Open House will take place at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, November 5 in the Enrollment Center.
鈥淎n Open House is one of the best way students can introduce themselves to all that 麻豆果冻 has to offer,鈥� O鈥橬eil said. 鈥淪tudents interested in the arts and communication fields can visit our state-of-the-art Academic Arts Center to learn about our programs and see where performances are held for theatre, music and dance students.
