“I feel comfortable and well prepared with what I learned at the Mount, and I’m proud to say that I graduated from this program.”

Entela Roba

“My favorite part is that you are able to have many resources at your fingertips, you can just send an email, or walk to any of the offices and everyone is willing to help.”

Mercy Aryee

Computer Science, Class Of 2024

“MWCC gave me a solid foundation that I keep building on in all of my classes at UMASS Lowell. It was a smart idea to get my associate’s degree first. It helped me with jobs in the short run so I could get my bachelor’s degree and still work full time.”

Jose Herrera-Ruiz

Computer Information Systems, Class Of 2017

“Mount Wachusett Community College pushed me out of my comfort zone or, should I say, gently nudged me with their guidance and assistance in completing my first degree at the age of 61. I am not your typical undergraduate. I am not the typical age, not the typical student, and I certainly did not take the typical amount of time to complete this degree.”
