When it comes to earning a degree or certificate, or taking a class to help advance your career, are you one of the many adults looking for quality, affordability as well as flexibility to be able to pursue your goals? Perhaps you are managing full-time work or working multiple jobs, have family or other personal responsibilities, or live far from campus. Flexibility is essential and can be found in online education.

Online education at Lincoln Land Community College provides easy access to high quality classes and supports students as they balance their personal lives with their educational pursuits. As the need for flexible learning options has grown, LLCC has continued to expand online course offerings to provide a variety of degrees and certificates available completely online.

Whether you’re looking to advance your career or gain new knowledge, our wide range of online programs offers both general education and career-focused courses. Online students may complete transfer associates degrees in disciplines such as liberal arts, English, political science and world languages, or pursue more career-focused degrees and certificates in the areas of business, criminal justice, early childhood education and computer science. The full list of online degrees and certificates is available at www.llcc.edu/online-degrees-certificates.

LLCC has a long history of providing affordable, high-quality distance education opportunities for our students, starting with radio courses in the 1970s, telecourses in the 1980s and 1990s, and launching its first online course in 1997. Nearly three decades later LLCC is offering hundreds of courses online each semester, with thousands of individual students taking online courses each academic year. Students may also complete a wide variety of degrees and certificates entirely online. LLCC has maintained the highest level of accreditation for distance education from its accreditors, the Higher Learning Commission, since 2009.

We continue to remain focused on quality online courses, programs and services to meet the diverse needs of today’s learners, ensuring that every student has the support necessary to succeed in an increasingly digital world. As a pioneer in online education, LLCC has consistently embraced innovative teaching methods and technology to enhance the online learning experience.

Students are at the heart of our teaching and learning, and their success depends on quality instruction and strong academic resources and services. In support of student success, online faculty at LLCC take part in professional development focused on teaching methods and innovative technology tools prior to teaching online. Online instructors at LLCC teach both online and in-person courses at the college and are highly invested in their students’ success. And like all classes at LLCC, our online courses provide a low faculty-to-student ratio. These smaller online class sizes offer a more personalized learning experience for our students.

Online students at LLCC also have access to valuable academic resources, including online tutoring, access to the college’s writing center and the college’s extensive online library services. To further support online students, the college’s online support team is available to assist students with a wide range of technical questions. LLCC’s commitment to accessible, high-quality, online instruction and solid academic support services provides online students with the opportunity to thrive academically, no matter where they are located.

With decades of experience, commitment to affordability and an emphasis on human connections, online courses can make it easier for you to achieve your academic and career goals. LLCC online classes combine high-quality instruction, diverse course options and comprehensive support services.

Online learning is designed to fit into your busy life — no matter your schedule or location. By choosing online learning at LLCC, you are joining a learning community that prioritizes your academic success and personal growth.

I encourage you to take the next step toward a brighter tomorrow by exploring LLCC’s online learning options today! Spring weekday classes begin Jan. 13. Learn more at www.llcc.edu/online.
