Northeast State’s regular schedule of classes includes Internet courses that offer students the opportunity to complete all or part of their coursework via the Internet. These online courses are different from the TN eCampus courses. Classes follow a traditional schedule or may meet only at selected times in a synchronous format throughout the semester (typically, students may meet with instructors four to five times on campus). To complete all requirements for these courses, students must be able to access the Internet through the college’s facilities or secure access on their own.

Students can earn an AS General degree over four fall and spring semesters in a fully online* format (no in-class meetings required). These courses differ from TN eCampus courses in that all classes are staffed by Northeast State instructors.

*With the possible exception of weekly lab meetings for the biology courses and/or on-ground proctored tests as required by the instructor.
