The College offers a wide range of courses via the Internet to students residing in North Carolina. Internet courses are delivered through personal computers connected to the Internet and allow for greater flexibility in scheduling. Students can complete coursework at times that are convenient for them. Students review lessons, lectures, readings, and related research sites, communicate with the instructor, and take tests via the World Wide Web. The Library and campus computer labs provide additional instructional support and Internet access for research.
