The Dallas County Community Colleges' distance learning program allows students to obtain their A.A.S degrees entirely through distance learning. Over one hundred different distance learning courses are offered, including accounting, anthropology, business, computer science, economics, English, health, history, humanities, government, management, mathematics, nutrition, philosophy, physical education, psychology, science, sociology, Spanish, and speech. Distance Learning classes are delivered to students through television, the Internet, or other types of technology. Each course is the equivalent of the on-campus section of the same course in terms of objectives, content, rigor, and transferability. Students must meet stated prerequisites or assessment scores where applicable.
Tuition is the same for distance learning courses as for courses on campus.
Students who apply and register through the distance learning website will pay an additional distance learning fee. For information about tuition assistance, contact the Financial Aid Office. Register just as you would for any other course on campus. See admission and registration information elsewhere in this catalog. Material about transfer information is available in the Counseling Center.
