Classes are offered via the Internet, using both synchronous and asynchronous interaction. A three-year rotation schedule of distance classes ensures that all program requirements are offered for the above degrees. Eastern Wyoming College offers courses in many core areas including general education, business, computer applications, criminal justice, education, social sciences, and human development.

Support services available to help students include technology support, student advising, library, bookstore, counseling, financial aid, tutoring, online registration, and online grade reports.

Students interested in taking distance classes should consider:

  • How comfortable are you with using technology such as computers, e-mail, and the Internet?
  • Are you a self-directed, self-motivated, and self-disciplined student? It is important to stick to a schedule with distance courses.
  • Are you comfortable with forms of interaction such as chat rooms, text messaging, e-mail, or telephone calls?
  • Do you have the time commitment to devote to a distance course? Distance courses require as much or more of your time than traditional classes.
  • Are you willing to be an active participant and an advocate for your own education? Then distance learning may be for you!
