There's still time to begin college this fall! 

Here's a look at programs and courses that offer a mid-semester start.

If you think it's too late to enroll for fall classes at Minnesota State College Southeast, think again! Some programs start in the middle of October, 2017.

"We have a number of courses that start part way through the semester," says Dr. Jonathan Eichten, Associate Dean of Enrollment and Student Services. "And you can even enroll in some of our programs with a mid-semester start."

• The Cosmetology and Truck Driving programs now offer starts in October. Both of these programs are based on the college's Winona campus and are eligible for financial aid. (Apply for admission now!)

• Shorter-term, intensive classes in the  Business Management and Integrative Medicine and Healing programs start on various dates  throughout the fall.

• Everywhere you go you see job openings for Nursing Assistants, and MSC Southeast offers the necessary training for this occupation. 3-credit nursing assistant classes run frequently throughout the school year, and CNA status is a prerequisite for entering Associate Degree Nursing or Practical Nursing.

Individual courses from a number of programs also have start dates part way through the semester; see the list below. According to Jonathan, "These classes might make a good option for students who want to get a head start on coming to college full-time in January."
