MCC Announces Accelerated Classes Starting January 19

MANCHESTER, Conn. (January 9, 2017) – It is not too late to register for spring classes at Manchester Community College – and also accelerate toward a degree.

MCC is offering a range of accelerated classes, many starting Thursday, January 19, as well as later in the spring semester. Presented in an eight-week format, these accelerated classes allow students to earn needed credits in a compressed time frame. Courses are offered either online or on campus.

Open courses include Introduction to Accounting, Introduction to Business, Principles of Management, Film Study, Public Speaking, Database with Web Applications, Fundamentals of Internet Programming, English Composition, Principles of Food Preparation, Advanced Food Preparation, Geometric Dimensions and Tolerances, General Psychology, Principles of Sociology and more.

Available accelerated classes can be found on myCommNet : select “search for course offerings,” then Spring 2017 and Manchester Community College; under “Title,” look for those classes marked 8wk or 12wk. New students can apply now to the college; returning students can immediately choose from any of the accelerated spring courses. Visit www.manchestercc.edu/enrollment.

While the number of classes for accelerated courses is fewer than the regular fall and spring semesters, students should be aware that each course contains the same number of class hours as the regular semester. As a result, the level of study is much more intensive and demanding of time. Students should consider this in planning their time and course selection.

In addition, the MCC faculty is continually partnering with area colleges and universities, and local businesses and government, to develop new courses and programs that will not only meet future workforce needs of the state of Connecticut, but will also give students the strong academic foundation they need to transfer successfully to a baccalaureate school after completing their associate degree.
