Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) has opened registration for its 2025
summer courses, offering flexible and affordable learning opportunities for MCLA students,
high schoolers, community members, professionals, and visiting college students.
MCLA will host two summer sessions with both in-person and online course options:
Session A: May 21 – July 3, 2025
Session B: July 7 – August 16, 2025
With more than 50 online courses available, MCLA’s summer offerings are designed to
accommodate the schedules of working adults, undergraduates, and high school students.
Courses provide a chance to get ahead on a major or minor, fulfill general education
requirements, explore a new subject, catch up on coursework, prepare for graduate
school, or even graduate early. Visiting students home for the summer can also take
advantage of MCLA’s affordable rates to complete prerequisite courses and transfer
credits back to their home institution.
