Online classes continue to be a popular option for many college students, and during the upcoming spring semester, Allan Hancock College will offer more than 100 online classes for busy students who enjoy the flexibility and convenience that such classes provide.
Students can complete their coursework at home or on campus computers at their own pace, which helps accommodate work, family and/or transportation constraints.
Spring 2016 online classes are being offered in a wide variety of disciplines, including anthropology, business, computer science, culinary arts, economics, early childhood studies, English, family and consumer science, film, geography, health education, history, humanities, human services, math, music, philosophy, psychology, sociology, Spanish and more.
Details about these and all other spring classes are available via the online Class Search; go to www.hancockcollege.edu and click the link on the home page.
Most online classes require an orientation session prior to the start of classes. Orientation details are available via Class Search by clicking the class CRN.
Online students living outside the college’s area may request test proctoring. For details, visit the Allan Hancock College Testing Center.
