The “online advantage” at Mid-State Technical College allows students to balance work, family and educational responsibilities; it means the opportunity to study anywhere at any time; it means that a degree schedule can be accelerated; and it means that there is a lower net overhead cost to college education. Comprised of multiple platforms including telepresence (video interaction of a class in session), computer conferencing and independent online learning, students have many options to “attend class” and complete course requirements at their convenience. Mid-State Technical College offers programs that can be completed entirely online, including business with multiple disciplines, customer relations, emergency services management, entrepreneurship, human resources and project management. The school’s website includes an online readiness page with a self-assessment, list of myths and an overview of the content delivery system.
