Do you seek different time frames for your classes?

Iowa Lakes offers a number of distance learning formats that you might be able to work into your schedule.  These include Flex Term, Fast Track, and Third Age College courses.

 

"Fast Track" Accelerated Credit Courses

"Fast-Track" provides highly intense courses that allow students to earn up to three semester hours of credit in as few as six days. Courses are designed to meet the needs of busy students who want the convenience of a fast-paced course without compromising the quality or content. Courses may be applied toward a degree. Contact Iowa Lakes for more information.

Flex Term Courses

Yet another format for obtaining college credit is the Flex Term.  In this format, a normal college course can be delivered in one-half a semester, while attending classes twice as often during that time.  This gives a more intense coverage of the material.  Contact Iowa Lakes for more information.

Third Age College

The Third Age College is an educational organization that provides an academic setting to enrich the lives of individuals over the age of 55 and other interested people.  Classes meet in Algona, Emmetsburg, Estherville, Spencer, and Spirit Lake.  They focus on academics rather than leisure and pleasure.  A variety of topics and subject areas are covered in courses.  In addition, GED classes are offered in a classroom setting for older adults.
