The mission of Brookhaven College’s Distance Learning Program is to provide alternative modes of effective instruction that students may access electronically.
Brookhaven College will use existing and emerging telecommunication technologies to provide convenient and flexible access to accredited and lifelong learning opportunities to students and workforces.
Distance learning courses provide instruction to students who are not at the same location as the instructors and can use various forms of technology – television, computer, telephone and the Internet. Students must meet prerequisites or assessment scores where applicable. Dallas County Community College District’ distance learning courses will transfer to other institutions. Students who plan to transfer should consult the catalog of that institution and work with an advisor in planning their academic programs. Campus-based distance courses are offered by each of the seven DCCCD campuses and may include some on-site instruction.
DALLAS TeleCollege courses are delivered complete from a distance, with no on-campus requirements. DTC sections are numbered as 9000-level sections. DALLAS TeleCollege offers courses in two formats: online courses or telecourse plus. Here are two handy links to information at DALLAS TeleCollege:
