With enrollment surging at community colleges, Anne Arundel Community College is taking a novel approach: midnight classes。
The college will offer a psychology class from midnight to 3 am Thursdays this fall. It's being dubbed "Midnight Madness."
The class was dreamed up by Matt Yeazel, the head of the psychologydepartment. He said introductory courses have been overflowing inrecent semesters, so he settled on the new time slot as a way to reachmore students. Paul Vinette will be teaching the class. He said it's abold and innovative move for a "brick-and-mortar institution."
Community colleges in Massachusetts, Indiana, Missouri and Oregonhave also started offering late-night classes. Enrollment at two-yearschools is up 17 percent this year。
