Programs of Study The Evening School and Off-Campus Program offer the following programs of study: 1. Regular College courses in all divisions of the college in which a student may accumulate credit toward an academic degree; however, not all divisions of the college have an evening offering sufficient to meet graduation requirements by attending Evening classes only. 2. General education courses to enable adults to become better informed; 3. Discussion programs to produce a better informed citizenry; 4. Technician and trade preparatory courses leading directly to employment in some of the occupational areas included in the day programs; 5. Courses designed to upgrade employer or employee competency; 6. Trade extension programs for: (1) Journeymen, to provide refresher courses in their chosen occupations, and (2) apprentices, to provide technical information related to their on-the-job experiences; 7. Hobby and recreational programs to aid adults to obtain leisure time activities and to plan for retirement years. An effort is made to present any course for which there are both a sufficient demand and available facilities. In most cases, a minimum of 10 requests from individuals or a minimum guarantee by an organization for a specific course is considered sufficient for exploratory action on the part of the college. EVENING SCHOOL FACULTY All members of the instructional staff are selected for their outstanding recent experience in education, business, and industry. Most of them are employed during the day in responsible positions in their fields of specialization, and bring to their classes the benefit of current knowledge and practical experience.
