Distance Learning Programs

|
For reasons of geography, employment, or
family obligations, it is often impossible for people to relocate to
Lewiston, Coeur d’Alene, or another college town to receive a
traditional college education. For such citizens in Idaho and
elsewhere, LCSC’s popular online courses make a college degree
possible.
Our Distance Learning curriculum includes both
associate and bachelor degree programs in business, nursing, teacher
certification, early childhood development, and web development. All
our classes employ the latest learning technologies to create
effective learning that is also cost-efficient. In fact, our
Pathways for Accelerated Certification and Endorsement (PACE)
program recently received a national “Program of Excellence Award”
for helping classroom assistants earn their teaching credential for
both elementary and secondary levels.
Not every class at LCSC
is available online, but our Distance Learning Program offers a
surprising number of them — including classes that fulfill core
requirements.

Five years ago, students filled 4,087 seats
in LCSC online courses. Since then, the number of filled seats has
increased over 65% to a total 6,753. In addition, enrollments in our
blended courses — classes that combine online instruction and
face-to-face classroom teaching — grew from 392 in 2007 to 2,157 in
2011 — a 450% increase. Funding from an endowment for Distance
Learning will support infrastructure and the personnel our Distance
Learning programs need to continue making a college education
possible for students who might otherwise never have the opportunity
to achieve one.
