We offer both in-person and on-line courses,
thus allowing our student greater options. At this time a certificate
or degree must incorporate traditional class settings due to the
nature of our discipline. Students are able to maximize the instructor's
input on assignments and projects. Instructors traditionally communicate
outside of class with students via Blackboard e-learning system.
While using it, students are able to access announcements, course
information and documents, assignments, grades, relevant course links,
and communicate with class members as well as faculty. In addition
to this online service, some classes are conducted in large part
online. We are constantly examining curriculum to determine if other
courses can be adapted to online learning.

American River College's Interior Design
Department is acutely aware of the challenges students may have with
commitments outside of school. We try to accommodate our diverse student
population by offering classes at convenient times. Some classes alternate
between being offered during the day one semester, and then during
the evening the next semester. Or, certain classes alternate between
fall or spring semester offerings. We offer an ongoing slection
of special interest courses which fall under the 499 heading. Examples
include Winter Market, Lighting Design, Extended Business Practices
and Project Management. Coming soon: Design for Life |
