Internet Education

Corning Community College is committed to offering access to all students. By providing Internet courses we are able to reach out to traditional students as well as those students who might otherwise be unable to continue their education due to time and distance constraints or job and family commitments.

Glossary

Internet course - the majority of the course is conducted online, however, most instructors require some in-person meetings.

Hybrid course - the course is a combination of in-class and online instruction.

Read the course descriptions carefully and do not hesitate to contact the instructor ahead of time for clarification on required in-person meeting times.
