Did you know that together, the colleges of DCCCD enroll more undergraduate students than any other college, university or community college system in the state? We serve more than 85,000 students through our seven colleges.

Each year, about 10,000 of our students take online — or distance learning — classes. In fact, more than 2 million students have taken courses through distance learning since we began offering them in 1972.

And the number keeps growing. In the past five years, enrollment in distance learning classes has more than doubled!

Distance Learning Degrees, Certificates and Awards

All students who earn an entire associate degree online will earn their degree using one of our seven colleges as their “home college.” To receive an associate degree, a minimum of 16 credit hours or 25 percent of your course work must be completed through your home college.
