Individualized Instruction back to top

The Arts and Sciences Individualized Instruction Center provides the opportunity to take college credit courses through the use of individualized and/or audio-visual-tutorial materials, as well as the use of the internet. These courses cover the same material as the traditional classroom courses, and they carry the same number of credit hours.  This instructional method features self-paced learning materials and personalized instruction.

Registration procedures for individualized instruction courses are the same as for any other course.  All courses in the Center may be taken for college credit or audit.

Specific course requirements for these courses are available in the individualized Instruction Center.  Feel free to drop by at any time during the semester and examine any course materials in which you might be interested.  The Individualized Instruction Center is located in room 114 in Building 6, the Business Sciences building.

Cooperative Education Program back to top

Cooperative Education is an alternative college program in which students are employed for specific periods of on- or off-campus work.  This employment is related as closely as possible to each student's course of study and individual interest.  The blend of classroom theory and practical on-the-job training adds a vital dimension to learning experiences.  Numerous advantages accrue from the Cooperative Education approach to learning, such as career direction and financial assistance for participating students, a source of manpower for employers, and an avenue to better relate the college to the community.

A student may participate in the Co-Op Program and earn credit toward degree requirements depending on his/her major.  In order to be eligible for the Co-Op Program, the student should:

  1. Be enrolled in a curriculum program.

  2. Have been at Isothermal for at least 1 semester.

  3. Have at least a 2.0 GPA.

  4. Be employable.
