Eleven online courses highlight the summer school offerings at Dana College in Blair, Neb., this summer.

Online courses are planned in accounting, communication, criminal justice, English, history, mathematics and psychology.

“ Select summer classes have been offered at Dana in an online format in the past,” said Dr. Ray Russin, vice president for academic affairs and academic dean, “but this is the first time Dana has provided so many opportunities for off-campus study.”

“ Both traditional and nontraditional students will find that online delivery provides more freedom in scheduling, something everyone seems to need in the summer months,” Russin said.

All of Dana’s online courses will be taught by regular, full-time faculty members, ensuring the academic integrity expected in a Dana College course.
Dana College is also offering a slate of traditional on-campus courses. These courses are popular among Dana’s current and incoming students to pick up extra credit hours toward their degree.

They are also a smart way to take care of some general education requirements for students currently enrolled or planning to enroll at other colleges and universities. Students who plan to transfer credits are advised to check with their college’s registrar’s office prior to enrolling.

Summer courses are offered at a special reduced tuition rate. The first summer session of classes begins May 30.
