Our college is a place where students are the center of everything we do. We're the perfect size for you if you want a college experience not far from home. Our students, faculty, and staff get to know one another as a true academic community, sort of like being part of a big family. Whether we're learning on our beautiful campus, our Meriden Center, or online, you'll find a warm and welcoming place where each and every student matters. At Middlesex you'll have a choice of over 70 academic programs. In general they fall into six clusters: Business and Hospitality, Health Careers, Humanities and Creative Arts, Manufacturing, Industrial and Technical Careers, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Education and Public Service and STEM- Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. In fact, you'll be one of over 80,000 students who have come to Middlesex since we first opened in the year of 1966. Tens of thousands have earned their degrees and certificates, continued their education to the bachelor's degree and beyond, and have led successful careers after life at Middlesex. We've been an important step in the journey for so many people. We are defined as "one community united in our mission to help students achieve their individual goals and become productive engaged global citizens." Students, maybe like you, often bring raw talent and uncertainty. You expect college to be a place where you can find your passion and prepare you for what the future holds in store for you. In exchange, we offer a nurturing environment where you can find faculty who are dedicated to being teachers first, student services professionals who are focused on your academic and career success, and an entire team of folks who keep the place running and the bills paid, and people like me, administrators, who defend the community college open-door. In short, community colleges, especially Middlesex Community College, can transform your life and, hey, don't just take it from me, here are a few students who can tell you about their experiences.

YOUNG MAN: Hi, I'm Ethan. I'm a student at Middlesex and I'm studying mathematics. There's a great, supportive community at Middlesex and it's easy to get involved. I find that there's a lot of resources available. The Academic Success Center that I can go to and there's wonderful tutors there to help. The professor to student ratio is a massive help in academics. It's an incredibly supportive environment and I feel really happy and secure at having that.

Making friends at Middlesex I found to be extremely easy. I was very scared of that. I didn't know if people would like me fresh coming out of high school but the people I've met here are really open and they've really helped me along the way and I think you'll really enjoy it here.

[STEVE MINKLER BACK ON SCREEN TALKING TO CAMERA]
Welcome to Middlesex Community College. I look forward to seeing you on campus or online.
