Barton Community College is discounting online courses for its summer sessions for Kansas High School students and graduating seniors of the class of 2022 from $150 to the face-to-face price of $118. That’s a savings of 21 percent per credit hour.
Coordinator of Community Education Karly Little said the Summer Sale is designed to help high school students and graduating seniors save money and make headway on their college educations. High school sophomores and juniors may have the option to take the courses as dual credit, but Little said students should check with their high school counselor to see whether or not the class would count on their high school transcript and how it could impact their class schedules later on.
“These summer sessions are a great way for high school students to explore classes that they might not have access to during the school year and for the outgoing senior class it’s just one more way they can save money as they venture off on their college journey,” she said.
In addition to the discount on the credit-hour rate, some classes use low-cost (under $50) or no-cost textbooks, helping students in these classes save even more money this summer. A list of these programs can be found by visiting bartonccc.edu/oer.
Students can take classes à la carte or work toward earning an associate degree or certificate. Students can access online courses 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is a wide array of courses available. All sessions are open for enrollment from now until the day before the class starts. The summer session schedule is as follows:
- Extended Session (12 weeks): May 23, 2022 – August 14, 2022
- Session 1 (6 weeks): May 23, 2022 – July 3, 2022
