Northeast Texas Community College Medical Assistant students recently gave back to the community by helping to feed those who have served our country at a special Veteran’s Day event at PE Wallace Middle School in Mount Pleasant. This is just one of many activities Medical Assistant (MA) students participate in outside of the classroom. The program is currently accepting applications for the spring semester.
The holiday break is right around the corner and that means December intersession classes start soon! The 5-week mini term begins December 12 and ends on January 10. The classes are all online.
This is a great way to pick up an extra class that you need and be one step closer to graduation. To learn more, visit www.ntcc.edu/intersession or speak to an advisor. Current students can sign up online in the myEagle Portal.
Courses offered include:
