"We have 45 different courses," said Jarrett Coutee, Admnistrator of eCampus. "We have a whole suite of math courses, we have some very attractive electives and of course the core courses."

"The courses they do have fidelity," said Coutee. "I believe our online learners learn that quickly, but like i said, they do enjoy it. It's in their environment, they are learning in their arena."


Monday to Friday the lab is available to eCampus students from 2 to 9pm to work on their courses, or get help from a tutor.
