Online Education

Online education gives you the option of taking a course or even getting a degree or certificate without ever stepping into a classroom.

We offer a wide variety of over 170 online courses and most credits will transfer to a four-year school.

Whether you’re a current college student wanting to save money or getting ahead during a break, or a stay-at-home parent who wants to earn a degree while caring for your children, taking an online course is a great, flexible and affordable way to get an education.

Blended or Online

Blended
Blended classes (also known as hybrid classes) meet on campus at designated days and times, but also utilize technology outside of the classroom. For example, a traditional class may meet Tuesday & Thursday from 12:30 to 1:45 p.m. That same class offered as a hybrid would meet only one day per week. The rest of the coursework would be done online via the College’s learning management system, Canvas. This is an excellent option for students who prefer regular interaction with their teacher and classmates and are nervous about a fully online class.

Online
Online classes allow students the flexibility of learning anywhere and anytime. All instruction, coursework, and testing is done online via the College’s learning management system, Canvas (unless specified in the professor’s syllabus). Students interact with their professor and classmates in a virtual classroom by participating in assignments, forum discussions, reading materials, viewing videos and taking online exams.

Blended courses are denoted by an HB in the section number and online courses with an OL.
For example, ENG-101-01HB or ENG-101-OL9.
