Telecourses are equivalent to on-campus courses in content, credit and fees. The primary difference between telecourses and traditional courses is the method by which instruction is delivered to the students, through the television instead of the classroom. Telecourse students work more independently with greater schedule flexibility in viewing lessons, reading accompanying materials, and completing assignments. Telecourses are broadcast by BCC's television station WBCC TV, UHF Channel 68. Tapes of these programs are available for viewing in all BCC libraries.
Offerings vary from term to term and are listed in current class schedules.
