Great Basin College is offering an alternate semester beginning Oct. 9. In order to meet the needs of our community, we have developed an alternate semester so that students can still enroll in college courses and get credit for attending a shorter semester. Aiazzi said there is still financial aid options available. The alternate semester will offer many special interest courses along with traditional college courses. Look for a listing of courses in GBC's Fall Alternate Schedule being mailed to all Elko County residents.
Students can complete six classes meeting the needs of local employers in nine weeks.
In addition, there is an Investing 2000, Business Presentations for the Terrified Speaker and Personal Finance courses. 2000 Update and Basic Drafting Principals. Plus there is a 14-credit Physician's Front Office Assistant Program. For the homeowner, you can take a course in Fall Residential Landscaping and Sprinkler Maintenance, Creative Cooking and Basic Wiring for Home and Shop. Technical courses include Fundamentals of Heating and Air Conditioning Systems, Commercial Driver's License Permit Prep, Alternative Energy Sources, Operation and Maintenance of Pumps with Emphasis on Irrigation Pumps and Welding Skills Improvement.
