Delivery types of Distance Education at FLC

Distance education courses are part of an institutional goal to provide flexibility to meet the needs of students' complex schedules and preferred learning styles.

Fort Lewis College offers three modalities, from traditional in-person classes to various distance courses during the summer, allowing students to continue earning credits while working or living away from campus. Contact CTL to learn about FLC's current offerings across academic departments.
