Distance Education

Work Towards A College Education

Why study by distance? Distance education increases access and flexibility for students. You can continue to work, parent and participate in community activities while working towards a college credential. You decide when and where you want to study.

Our virtual learning environments are open 24-7 and 365 days a year, meaning you decide when and where you want to study. Learning by distance can involve a paper-based delivery, a blending of face-to-face and online delivery, or a completely online delivery.

Our dedicated instructors are available by phone, email and online to answer questions and provide feedback.
