Clark College will be bringing back in-person learning this fall term after more than a year of remote operations during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, not everyone will be heading back to a physical campus this September: The college is also now offering a wide range of fully online degree programs.
Actually, for years students have been able to earn an associate degree from the public community college by taking only online classes— they just had to figure out how to do it more or less on their own. Now, however, the college has created easily identifiable pathways to earn the following degrees online:
• Associate in Arts transfer degree, with eight emphasis options in Communication Studies, English, Geography, History, Psychology, Sociology, Spanish and Business Administration
• Associate in Arts transfer degree with a concentration in Women’s Studies
• Associate in Applied Science in Business Administration
• Associate in Applied Technology in Health Information Management
• Associate in Applied Technology in Network Technologies
• Associate in Applied Technology in CISCO Technologies
“Before Covid, while we didn’t officially have online degree programs lined up for students, it was still possible to get your degree by taking fully online classes,” said Dr. Kathy Chatfield, who leads the college’s eLearning department. “It was just harder to figure out because it wasn’t all nicely laid out in a package like it is now.”
