ECC approved for distance learning program

Erie Community College has been approved by the State Education Department as a provider of distance learning for a five-year period, making it one of only 15 two-year colleges in the state permitted to provide degree programs from a distance. The endorsement allows ECC to expand its flexible and interactive educational options for students with busy lives and limited resources. Plans call for expanding current offerings, including office technology, business administration and liberal arts programs. About 950 students enroll annually in telecourse classes; while online courses have seen an increase from 288 students in fall 2001 to 1,841 in spring 2004. Enrollment in fall 2004 in all distance learning courses is expected to reach nearly 3,150.
