Quality Distance Education at AMC 

The Distance Education Program at Atlanta Metropolitan College is designed to not only provide students with an excellent education, but to also foster and encourage substantial student participation in their online class conversations. The nature of the program requires student responsibility for ensuring that the online class environment and discussions remain engaging and stimulating. Students may do this by checking email daily, visiting the course website, completing assignments in a timely manner, and regularly posting responses to online discussions. Although students are generally able to create and maintain their own class schedules, there remains in place, evaluated assignments as well as deadlines and exams. The flexibility of an online course does not excuse a student from their coursework responsibilities and involvement. Many students enjoy the freedom as well as the personal challenges that come with taking a course online.
