When it comes to earning a degree or certificate or taking a
class to help advance a career, are you one of the many adults looking for
quality, affordability and flexibility to be able to pursue your goals? Perhaps
you are managing full-time work or working multiple jobs, have family or other
personal responsibilities, or live far from campus. Flexibility is essential
and can be found in online education.
Online education at Lincoln Land Community College provides
easy access to high quality classes and supports students as they balance their
personal lives with their educational pursuits. As the need for flexible
learning options has grown, LLCC has continued to expand online course
offerings to provide a variety of degrees and certificates available completely
online.
Whether you’re looking to advance a career or gain new
knowledge, LLCC’s wide range of online programs offers both general education
and career-focused courses. Online students may complete transfer associates
degrees in disciplines such as liberal arts, English, political science and
world languages, or pursue more career-focused degrees and certificates in the
areas of business, criminal justice, early childhood education and computer
science. The full list of online degrees and certificates is available at
www.llcc.edu/online-degrees-certificates.
LLCC has a long history of providing affordable,
high-quality distance education opportunities for our students, starting with
radio courses in the 1970s, telecourses in the 1980s and 1990s, and launching
its first online course in 1997. Nearly three decades later LLCC is offering
hundreds of courses online each semester, with thousands of individual students
taking online courses each academic year. Students may also complete a wide
variety of degrees and certificates entirely online. LLCC has maintained the
highest level of accreditation for distance education from its accreditors, the
Higher Learning Commission, since 2009.
LLCC continues to remain focused on quality online courses,
programs and services to meet the diverse needs of today’s learners, ensuring
that every student has the support necessary to succeed in an increasingly
digital world. As a pioneer in online education, LLCC has consistently embraced
innovative teaching methods and technology to enhance the online learning
experience.
Students are at the heart of our teaching and learning, and
their success depends on quality instruction and strong academic resources and
services. In support of student success, online faculty at LLCC take part in
professional development focused on teaching methods and innovative technology
tools prior to teaching online. Online instructors at LLCC teach both online
and in-person courses at the college and are highly invested in their students’
success. And like all classes at LLCC, our online courses provide a low
faculty-to-student ratio. These smaller online class sizes offer a more
personalized learning experience for our students.
Online students at LLCC also have access to valuable
academic resources, including online tutoring, access to the college’s writing
center and the college’s extensive online library services. To further support
online students, the college’s online support team is available to assist
students with a wide range of technical questions. LLCC’s commitment to
accessible, high-quality, online instruction and solid academic support
services provides online students with the opportunity to thrive academically, no
matter where they are located.
With decades of experience, a commitment to affordability
and emphasis on human connections, online courses can make it easier for you to
achieve academic and career goals. LLCC online classes combine high-quality
instruction, diverse course options and comprehensive support services.
Online learning is designed to fit into your busy life – no matter
your schedule or location. By choosing online learning at LLCC, you are joining
a learning community that prioritizes your academic success and personal
growth.
I encourage you to take the next step toward a brighter
tomorrow by exploring LLCC’s online learning options today! Spring weekday
