Online Credit Learning

MCC makes it convenient to learn, even from afar. You can earn degrees or certificates through a unique program that incorporates online learning technology, allowing you to complete most of your coursework from remote locations through online or blended formats.


Your Online Course Options

  • Online Courses
    • Experience courses taught on the Internet using MCC's online course management system, Canvas.
    • Review course materials, participate in class discussions, turn in assignments and take quizzes online.
    • Students enrolled in online courses pay in-district tuition regardless of residency. (In-district tuition rate does not apply to blended courses.)
  • Blended Courses

    Instruction is provided differently in online/blended courses than in classroom-based courses. An online/blended course requires three hours of work for each course credit; therefore, for a three-credit course, you should expect to spend about nine to twelve hours each week in this course to engage in activities that may include but is not limited to:

    • attending synchronous sessions
    • participating in interactive tutorials or computer-assisted instruction reading course materials
    • participating in online discussions
    • participating in online study groups for the class doing research and writing papers
    • completing all other course assignments (e.g., quizzes, exams, field trips, etc.)
