the tests.
The Adult Learning Center, located on MCC's Bedford campus, is a free program funded by the Massachusetts Department
of Elementary & Secondary Education. Call 781-280-3665 for additional information.
Middlesex also has an Out of School Youth (OSY) Development Center located on the Lowell campus which serves youth between the ages of 16-24 who are
not currently enrolled in high school. Students residing in Lowell and surrounding
towns are eligible to enroll in the program. In addition to classroom instruction
to prepare for the HiSET or GED examination, students are eligible to receive assistance with career, employment
and college options. The Center is located in Room 117C of the Dr. Carole Cowan Center.
