The fast pace of life these days has made it difficult for people to find time away from work and family to take classes.
Online courses offer one solution.
They are an ideal option for busy people, especially adults whose family and work responsibilities make it hard for them to attend on-campus courses. When illness, transportation difficulties, child care responsibilities or other factors create education obstacles, online courses provide a viable alternative. Course videos are broadcast through Maryland Public Television, are cablecast on HCC TV, or are videostreamed from the HCC library homepage. They cover topics in art history, oceanography and humanities. The college has also partnered with the international online instruction firm Education To Go to broaden the selection of lifelong learning courses available to non-credit students across the county.
