The Consortium provides a broad selection of distance learning courses that can be taken toward the completion of an Associate of Arts degree. Distance learning courses provide flexibility and convenience to those pursuing educational objectives. These courses require little or no time on a college campus.

Expanded Choices Distance learning courses have been available for a number of years beginning with correspondence courses, but because of changes in instructional technologies like VCR's, CD-ROM's and the Internet, class communications and delivery methods have greatly improved. Today, students taking courses at a distance are able to have demanding, changing schedules and pursue a quality education at time and location different than the instructor and other classmates. Distance learning courses are not easier than on-campus courses. The courses offered are equivalent to on-campus courses in terms of content, degree of difficulty and transferability. They require self-discipline and proficient reading skills.
