| Six pillars express the primary values and goals that support the Middlesex Mission: |
|
|
|
 |
Teaching is student-centered, emphasizing interactive learning strategies, state-of-the-art technology, workplace and community service, and the incorporation of a forward-thinking core curriculum. Online classes, tutoring and library resources give students added flexibility for learning. Vibrant co-curricular opportunities reflect a broad array of interests and encourage a strong voice in student governance. |
|
|
|
Classes are small, with instruction tailored to the needs of individual students. Writing, Reading, and Mathematics learning centers and tutoring in all college subjects enhance achievement, providing added personal attention and support. By accessing the academic, career and personal counseling available at both Middlesex campuses, students receive timely, individualized guidance throughout their college experience and assistance in planning the next steps in their education and careers. |
|
|
|
An active Business and Industry program delivers just-in-time education and training at corporate and agency sites, while on-campus and web-based skills development, professional development, and lifelong learning programs are offered throughout the region. A unique partnership with MCC’s one-stop Career Place gives students and community residents ready access to extensive career counseling, placement, and training in an off-site facility created to serve regional economic development needs. |
|
|
|
|
Through partnerships with schools, businesses, the arts community, and service agencies, Middlesex participates actively in the day-to-day life and ongoing development of its local communities. Service Learning reinforces institutional and personal citizenship, involving students in authentic learning and vital community service, while international teaching and learning opportunities support partnerships abroad and globalization of Middlesex’s curriculum. |
|
|
|
Programs and services for students and community members of all ages, interests and abilities complement other college offerings, extending MCC’s reach to diverse populations. Programs range from adult literacy and English-as-a-Second-Language instruction at college and pre-college levels to Honors and post-graduate opportunities. Community residents can broaden specific skills and interests in a collegiate environment through an array of focused summer camps, specialized programming for youth and senior citizens, short-term courses and seminars, and online learning opportunities. |
|
|
|
Through an emphasis on effectiveness, applied scholarship and instructional innovation, faculty and staff produce dynamic curricula and creative approaches to learning. An extensive professional development program supports exploration of effective teaching techniques, new technologies, and strategies that promote student achievement and success both in the classroom and beyond. College research and ongoing outcomes assessment reinforce Middlesex’s commitment to continuous improvement and responsiveness in all of its offerings and services. |
