About

Middlesex Community College was founded in 1970 in Bedford, Massachusetts. The school has expanded its operations and locations, offering its services to a wider area. Over the years the school has purchased properties with the intent to expand not only its area of coverage, but to offer new opportunities. For instance, a recent purchase of an old Boston and Maine Railroad depot will be converted into a performing arts center.

 

Academics

MCC offers degree and certificate programs for its students. Degree programs can be used for transfer into a four year institution. The certificate programs, along with some degree programs, educate students in the skills necessary to begin working immediately in their field of study after graduation. Both types of programs allow the use of received credits to further their education in the future.

 

Programs offered include:

 

Admissions and Financial Aid

Students wishing to enroll must have a school diploma or GED, and complete the admissions application.
