Colleges That Offer Distance Learning

Rogue Community College

• This Southern Oregon college offers both telecourses and online classes leading to an associate's degree. There is an additional fee to register for distance learning classes ($25 per class in the summer of 2010). Both core courses such as math, English, history, and science, and electives such as art and music are available as distance learning classes. In some cases the student is required to go to a campus testing center in order to take exams for a course. Some classes which require lab work can be taken from home, but the student will need to find time to go to the campus and complete the hands-on portion of the class.
