Continuing Education Distance Learning

What is Distance Learning?                               
Distance learning provides a convenient, standardized, and economical approach for our students to learn. Students attend class from anywhere - in the office, at home, at school, or on the road, and study at a pace that's right for them. With courses that are either instructor-led or self-paced, with or without a live chat or web conferencing component, AACC can assist you with your educational needs.

Questions about continuing education distance learning? Contact AACC's Instructional Support Center at iscenter@aacc.edu or call 410-777-2325.
