Middlesex Community College provides students with many flexible course options to fit a variety of schedules and learning styles. In addition to traditional courses, MCC offers online, hybrid and Flexible Studies courses, as well as a number of Learning Communities. Spring semester begins Tuesday, Jan. 21, and it’s not too late to register.
Traditional courses enable students and instructors to meet in a classroom, laboratory, clinic, or external setting for an established number of hours per week on a regular weekly schedule. Learning occurs through lectures, presentations, discussions and other classroom activities.

Hybrid courses combine face-to-face classroom experience with online instruction. These courses are a good option for students who may be hesitant about taking an entirely online course, or who may also want the traditional classroom experience.
Flexible Studies courses enable students to select convenient class hours from many available course-meeting times, and allow them to learn at their own pace – accelerating or taking extra time, as needed. Students work with an instructor who specializes in the subject.
Learning Communities consist of two highly interactive courses with the same students and the same instructors. By enrolling in one Learning Community, students earn credits for two courses, and can study a topic or theme in depth.
