Online courses provide greater access for students

KINGMAN - Area residents who have been unable to pursue a college education due to personal, family and work commitments can access a wide variety of classes via MCC’s Distance Education Campus.  

Online classes provide a way students can study, learn and interact with their instructor and classmates anytime of the day or night.  

Chuck Spotts, Mohave Community College’s vice president of instruction and student services, said, “The college’s distance education campus increases learning opportunities for all residents regardless of where they live or when they work.”  

“Students work closely with their instructors and fellow students through the Internet,” said Diana Stithem, MCC’s dean of distance education. “Online classes provide the same content and use the same textbooks as the equivalent class offered in the traditional MCC classroom.

“Most classes also use additional publisher Internet resources. For example, MCC’s online Meteorology and Oceanography courses have real-time online lab resources provided by the American Meteorological Society,” Stithem explained.

“Because the distance education campus is without walls, MCC can offer courses with a variety of start and end dates. Fall semester online offerings include math, the science courses mentioned above, English, computer courses, business and accounting courses, history, geography and humanities courses,” Stithem added.

For more information, including a complete list of this fall’s online courses, go to the MCC Web site at www.mohave.edu or stop by any MCC campus and speak with an academic advisor.
