| Brookhaven College Distance Learning Mission
Statement |
| The mission of Brookhaven College's Distance
Learning Program is to provide alternative modes of effective instruction
that students may access electronically. |
| Brookhaven College Distance Learning Goal |
| 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. |
