General Areas of study
Of a necessity, the nature of the programs of study offered
in a community college must be diverse. In order to meet
that diversity of needs, community college curricula and
organizational structures are also varied and flexible. Volunteer
State Community College offers a number of general areas of
study to meet the different needs of its students and a flexible
organizational framework to provide specific opportunities for all
students and adults who deserve to benefit from the educational
programs offered by the College.

Weekend College
With many students facing challenging daily schedules
during the week, both at home and at work, Weekend
College courses provide an attractive alternative. Courses
range from full fifteen-week classes of two-three hours
(depending on hours of credit) on Saturday mornings to
concentrated five-week courses usually involving three
hours on Friday nights and 8:30 4:30 on Saturdays.
Enrollment in Weekend College classes along with
evening and College Home classes is an excellent
means of accelerating completion of the associate degree.
College support services are available on Saturday to
complement the student's program of study.
