Many courses offered at the El Camino College Compton Center may be taken through the Distance Education program.

Telecourses, two-way interactive course via video, and online course via computer, and hybrid courses via computer and classroom attendance are offered. Distance Education courses are ideal for students who need a flexible class schedule because most of the coursework may be completed off campus. For some courses, a limited number of on campus class sessions is required. Other classes may be taken entirely online.

Students may register for Distance Education courses by telephone, computer or the Admissions Office during registration.
