Audio Welcome Message: Distance Learning

If you are looking for a way to begin, continue, or accelerate your education and you need to fit college into your schedule and the demands of your life, then Distance Learning is an educational option well worth exploring.

People enroll in distance courses for a variety of reasons. Job and family responsibilities can make it difficult for some to attend regularly scheduled on-campus classes. Traveling to a campus can be either inconvenient or not feasible. Leaving children with babysitters and spending time commuting is not how parents want to use their limited family time.

You have probably heard the term "Distance Learning", but knowing what that term actually means might not exactly be clear to you. Does it mean taking a course over the Internet, or using videotapes, or does it involve teleconferencing? What exactly does Bucks County Community College consider Distance Learning?

The answer to that question and others can be found in this segment of the Distance Learning Orientation Guide. Take some time to consider the information found here, take the "Is Distance Learning For Me?" quiz. If you still have questions, feel free to contact the Distance Learning office for further help.
