McNeese State University will offer a variety of electronic learning courses for academic credit during the 2008 fall semester that are designed for well-disciplined students who are capable of handling independent study.

All McNeese College by Cassette courses and Web-based courses require some on-campus classroom obligations and assignments as well as additional fees. Information for these programs is listed in the fall class schedule.

Students can register for classes now during fall registration through July 11. Fall classes begin Aug. 18.

McNeese will offer three courses through the College by Cassette program during the fall semester. They are: History of Film, ART 365, two sections; Personal and Community Health, H&HP 122; and Introductory Sociology, SOCL 201.

Compressed video courses offer students an opportunity to receive credit from McNeese or other state universities by attending class at one of the on-campus sites or at one of McNeese's off-campus sites in Allen, Jeff Davis or Beauregard parishes. Students should look for course listings marked section CV or CZ to register for these courses.

Internet or Web-based courses are being offered in several departments, which allow students to access information and assignments from home or at times that might be more convenient to the student. Students should look for course listings marked section W to register for these courses.

For more information about any of these courses, contact the McNeese Electronic Learning Office at (337) 475-5075 or 1-800-622-3352, ext. 5075.
