FAST-TRACK

This accelerated undergraduate degree completion program is designed for the busy  adult who is balancing life and work demands while pursuing the completion of a bachelor's degree.  We offer three degree completion program majors: Business Administration and Interdisciplinary Studies.  So, get on the FAST-TRACK to complete your Bachelor's degree at MCLA in less time and with more flexibility than a traditional degree format.

Professional & Career Development 

We offer noncredit and credit professional development programs for K-12 teachers and other professionals, including HR specialists.  Some professional development is available online.

OnLine Learning

In partnership with Ed 2 Go, one of the largest providers of online continuing noncredit education in the US, MCLA offers a library of courses online in topics of interest.    All courses are available at the cost of $99 per offering. 

All of our classes are enrollment-driven and require a minimum number of participants.  We make the decision to hold the class one week before it begins.   So, please check with the office to ensure your course is running - and  encourage your friends, your neighbors & your neighbors friends to participate!

Summer College 

Each year MCLA's Summer College offers some of the best courses that the campus has to offer. You can get ahead of your year-round college program or you can take in a course that you haven't been able to get through yet. 

You'll have exciting opportunities like accomplishing two years of Spanish in just two six-week summer sessions through our foreign language institute. Educators will be able to accomplish significant progress toward their masters degrees by taking week-long intensive day courses and achieving 3-4 credits in that short time.

While summer in the Berkshires is beautiful, Summer College in the Berkshires at MCLA is something else.  We will continue to increase the number of online courses taught by our full time faculty with certification in online learning so that being away from campus will not stop you from progressing in your studies.

Our Summer College 2011 offerings will be posted in April 2011.
