What are telecourses?
Telecourses are fully accredited college-level courses brought to you by means of television. The main difference between telecourses and on-campus courses--and what makes telecourses so convenient--is that the majority of your classes come to you at home via KET, the Kentucky Network.
Throughout Kentucky, state universities, community colleges, and a number of independent institutions offer credit to students enrolled in KET telecourses. After registering and paying tuition at a participating college or university, students receive assignments and tests from the telecourse professor. Textbooks, study guides, and other study components for telecourses can be purchased at college bookstores.
If you want to earn college credit, but find it difficult to fit weekly on-campus classes into your busy schedule, KET telecourses can help you achieve your goal. Telecourses offer an exciting learning experience by presenting a body of knowledge through the use of telecommunications.
