What is the difference between “credit” and “noncredit” online classes?
With credit online classes, students can earn college credit toward one of Durham Tech’s degree, diploma, or certificate programs.Credit online classes begin and end according to the academic calendar. Some credit online courses are transferable to four-year colleges and universities; these are noted in bold on the credit online course schedule. Non-credit online classes, offered through the college’s Continuing Education department, provide a wide range of opportunities to advance your career, to prepare for entering or re-entering the work force, or to learn something new. There are online and hybrid programs that allow students to earn a credential in health fields, such as Medical Coding or Nursing Assistant. See the list of non-credit online and hybrid offerings, and be sure to check out the wide array of online courses available through Ed2Go and the American Management Association (AMA).
