Evening & Weekend Programs

The pursuit of a higher education should be accessible to everyone who desires a college degree.
We acknowledge that in our ever changing world there must be alternatives to the traditional route
to education. Students’ lives are evolving as rapidly as the world; flexibility and availability of options are key factors for the completion of undergraduate degrees.

Mission
The Evening and Weekend Program Office delivers extended services in the evening and on weekends to our students and faculty.  We serve as liaison for students and to the many faceted offices at MEC.  The office is charged with increasing the number of courses offered in the evening, weekend, online and accelerated format.

During the fall and spring semesters we offer approximately 1000 courses in the evenings and on the weekend.
