IECC offers a wide range of fully online courses. IECC understands that time constraints due to work or family obligations can limit a student’s ability to attend classes. Online classes can make it possible for students to take many of the courses that are offered in a traditional classroom setting.
Online courses are 100% fully online classes that can be completed at home, work, or anywhere you have an Internet-connected computer. Proctored testing may be required, but can be arranged in your area.
IECC also offers Online Hybrid courses which are partially online and require some face-to-face visits at one of our four colleges. See the regular downloadable schedules for a listing of Hybrid courses
