Earning a quality education online

Mesa Community College knows how to deliver a quality education online for you. It’s one of the ways we’ve been listening and responding to student requests for flexibility. For decades, our faculty has fine-tuned innovative online classes that use the same curriculum as their on-campus courses. With technology and tools such as Canvas and video conferencing, you can learn valuable skills and earn transferable credits.

Our students say our online courses are no more challenging than our on-campus classes. Online classes offer the flexibility of fitting classes to your schedule, saving you the time and money of commuting to campus. Plus, there are helpful orientations and online assistance at MCC, so you can succeed.

With online learning at MCC, choose from three formats

Live Online classes meet virtually on specific days and times, so you can interact with your instructors and classmates in a real-time video session. If you don’t want schedule restrictions, you can learn when you want with Online classes. For the few classes requiring labs or specialized equipment, Hybrid classes combine online and on-campus education.

With whichever online class format you choose, you can succeed.
