Options include Basic Algebra II, Basic Writing, English Composition I, Human Biology, Introduction to Accounting I and II, and Public Speaking.<\/p>\n<p>Northern Essex decided to offer classes during the break after hearing students were interested. \u201cOur students are very motivated and many are seeking innovative options that can accelerate their education and move them into the work force or help them transfer to a four-year program sooner,\u201d said Tina Favara, interim dean of enrollment services. \u201cThis gives students the opportunity to earn an additional three-credit course this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Northern Essex offers 70 certificate and associate degree programs in fields such as art and design, business, communications arts, computer and information sciences, criminal justice, liberal arts, health, performing arts, and much more. Twenty of those programs are offered completely online or 80* online and classes are offered days, evenings, and weekends.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about winter intersession courses offered at NECC, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.necc.mass.edu\/winter-intersession\">website <\/a>or contact Enrollment Services at <a href=\"mailto:admissions@necc.mass.edu\">admissions@necc.mass.edu<\/a> or (978) 556-3700.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; For the first time in decades, maybe ever, Northern Essex Community College is offering accelerated courses during the January break for students who want to get ahead.
