The material covered in a television course is equivalent to LCCC's on-campus courses. The quality and comprehensives of each course is thoroughly evaluated before being offered to students. The main difference between television courses and traditionally taught courses is location and method of learning, not quality. The current list of telecourses is available by clicking on telecourse programs. Distance Learning students should be self-directed, independent learners.
Students watch the programs at home instead of regularly attending lectures on campus.
The courses are broadcast via Lehigh Valley PBS Channel 39. Click broadcast schedule to view the broadcast schedule for the current semester. Admission and Registration Admissions, registration procedures and course or program prerequisites for television courses are the same as for on-campus courses. Applicants submit an application for admission to the Admission's Office, meet the standard entrance requirements of the college, and must be formally admitted to the college to register for any credit courses. Tuition and Fees Tuition and fees for the telecourses will be the same as for regular LCCC courses, and the courses will appear on the student transcripts as sections of regular LCCC courses.
