Haverhill and Lawrence, MA (October 12, 2022) – Registration is now open at Northern Essex Community College for accelerated, 8-week classes starting October 31. The 36 classes range from one to four credits each, and many meet entirely online.

“Fall Session II offers an exciting opportunity for students who want to continue with their educational goals while prioritizing their work, family, and academics,” said Donna Bertolino, dean of enrollment services. “Most courses are offered online, providing flexibility outside of a traditional in-person classroom setting.”

Fall Session II courses run through December 20. Students can add classes until just before the start date. However, some are already filling up. Courses are offered in various disciplines, including business, science, public health, computer science, liberal arts, criminal justice, and engineering.

Northern Essex first expanded its accelerated offerings last spring in response to how learning changed during the pandemic. The college offers seven enrollment opportunities throughout the year, with two sessions of classes each in the fall, spring, and summer semesters and one session during winter intersession.
