Students looking for flexibility in their class schedule should consider St. Charles Community College’s Fall 2013 hybrid classes. Hybrid classes blend face-to-face meetings with online learning.
With hybrid classes, students have the opportunity to take multiple classes, even up to a full course load, with only having to come to campus two or three days a week.
“Hybrid classes offer the freedom of an online class with the personal contact of an on-campus class,” said Paul Roesler, SCC political science professor. “The faculty involved in this feel that hybrid classes offer the best of both worlds, since the classes give students more flexibility, while still giving them the weekly face-time with their teachers and fellow students.”

Hybrid course will also be offered in Business Administrative Systems (BAS), Business Administration (BUS), College Development (COL), Computer Networking (CPC) and Mathematics (MAT).
“Hybrid classes are not the same as online classes that are almost entirely independent learning,” said Roesler. “These classes give students face-to-face learning opportunities with their professors and peers, and hybrid classes mean less in-class lecturing and more discussion of topics that make learning fun.”
