Academics
Accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Southwest Tennessee Community College maintains two campuses and four centers. There are three associate degrees offered: associate in applied science, associate of arts, and associate of science. The school also offers technical certificates, courses for non-degree students, continuing education, and distance education.
Distance Education and Instructional Technology provides students the opportunity to obtain higher education in a more flexible learning environment. Here several options for learning are offered, including online course, web-assisted classes, split courses, and telecourses.
Online courses are just that, and do not require students to step foot into a classroom. Web-assisted classes involve meeting in the classroom with assignments completed online. Split courses include face-to-face instruction as well as online learning. Telecourses are classes based on a series of television programs which teach concepts and cover the textbook material.
