Going the Distance, an external degree program in General Studies, is offered in partnership with Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) beginning Fall Semester 2000. Through Going the Distance, students can make the most of distance education: by viewing their "TV as a College Campus."

Using the telecourses broadcast on Channel 5 as basic curriculum, TMCC instructors develop a website from which to offer additional instruction and student/teacher interactivity. Students are required to enroll in the Going the Distance telecourses using the same system as the campus students, in person, by phone, or on the web at www.tmcc.edu.

Going the Distance students are able to earn credits by studying independently at home, ultimately earning an Associate Arts Degree with very little need to go to the campus. Telecourses listed as Going the Distance in the spring 2001 catalog include the World of Music, Abnormal Psychology, and Principles of Sociology.
