Course News

 

       Can’t get a spot in a course you need?  Enrollments often vary day by day so try back a few times. You may be surprised to find a window of opportunity when a space becomes available.  New sections of some courses have been opened. There are also numerous sections of many courses available at our locations at May’s Landing and at Freehold. This year we also offer both hybrid and online sections of many courses. BE SURE TO LOOK AT THE ENTIRE SET OF COURSE OFFERINGS AND CHECK WITH ACADEMIC SERVICES TO INVESTIGATE YOUR OPTIONS!!!
