Education Services Developmental Education Services The mission of the College to provide open and equal access and opportunity for education to all persons in the local community carries with it an implicit commitment to provide educational services and programs supportive of each student's needs and capabilities. The College's Developmental Education Services program offers students the opportunity to improve skills, develop strengths and talents and correct weaknesses. The services include tutoring, access to educational technology, alternative instructional opportunities, mini-courses and workshops and print and media learning aids.
Courses by Television A variety of introductory-level television credit courses are available equivalent to those taught on the campus, in many cases by the same full-time faculty. These professionally produced television courses take students to distant locations, dramatize events and feature on-location interviews with experts and a program host knowledgeable in the subject area. Students may register for courses by television using the same registration procedures that apply to the campuses or off-campus credit sites. Students registering for other college credit courses should register for TV courses at the same time. Students must attend a number of required seminars conducted by full-time CCC instructors assigned to each course who will be available for telephone and in-person consultation . Midterm and final examinations will be given.
Cultural Heritage Education In accordance with Cuyahoga Community College's mission statement, cultural heritage is recognized by the College as a prime ingredient in educational programming. Courses are taught in French, German, Hebrew, Italian and Spanish. Intercultural communication (Speech 251) is offered, as are non-credit courses on various cultural topics, such as foreign language instruction and the history of Cleveland. The College was a partner with the Cleveland Public Library's Cleveland Heritage Program that sponsored ethnic and cultural history projects in Cleveland neighborhoods. One product of this joint effort is the anticipated development of a new credit history course on the cultural heritage of Cleveland.
