Distance Education
Distance Education is a multi-media approach to independent learning. Honolulu Community College offers cable, online, and cable+online courses. All courses carry full academic credit and their content is equivalent to what you would receive in a more traditional mode of delivery. Credits transfer within the University of Hawaii system if courses are required for your major. All courses also require college level reading, writing and math, unless stated otherwise.
