E-Campus allows full-time workers to attend college - Kathryn Jones, Salt Lake Community College Globe
Used to be, you could go to college, study, have some free time, and never have to worry about the 'working world' until you finished school. Today, you can dream about the past all you want, but the truth is that those days, for many of us, are over. In 2001 it was estimated by Sebago Associates, an economic consulting firm, that "fifty-seven percent of all college students have jobs-and in 2000, that "one in 10 college students attended classes full-time and worked full-time." This is no easy life. But fortunately, here at SLCC, there is opportunity for easing your learning through eCampus classes-and the opportunities are growing. Currently, summer courses offer 97 choices, from American Civilization to Introduction to Surveying. The eCampus class numbers grow a bit higher in the fall. One hundred classes are offered-from Internet classes to instruction that involve television, video; DVD, chats or web-enhanced, types of learning.
