Montgomery College Awarded: Maryland’s Best Community College
For the second year in a row, Montgomery College (MC) was recognized as Marylands best online community college by Premium Schools (2021). The global pandemic forced many jobs and educational systems to transition into virtual or hybrid models; MC is proud of being able to create an equitable online platform for all 21,720+ of its students.
MC is currently offering in-person classes for those with labs. Otherwise, students are either taking “virtual classes” where students have scheduled zoom meetings/lectures with their professors or “distanced learning” offers the opportunity for students to complete the course content online. MC professors must decide by the end of June whether or not their class will meet in-person or remain virtual, students will then have the opportunity to adjust their schedules accordingly if needed.
