Midland College (MC) participates in the Virtual College of Texas (VCT), which is a consortium of accredited, public Texas community and technical colleges. The consortium includes the 50 Texas community college districts and the four colleges of the Texas State Technical College system. The mission of the VCT is to provide higher education access to all Texans wherever they may live.
While the majority of Midland College’s VCT business is from students at other colleges enrolling in MC-provided courses, MC students are also eligible to enroll in other colleges’ courses. One such course being offered this fall is Beginning American Sign Language I (SGNL 1401). The course, which will originate from Howard College’s Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf, will be offered at Midland College in Room 107 of the F. Marie Hall Academic Building from 5:30-6:45 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, August 27-December 14.
Jené Brown, Midland College’s distance learning & VCT coordinator, explains, “Sign Language usually satisfies foreign language requirements needed for graduation and has been very popular among MC students; however, we haven’t been able to offer the course in the past few years due to lack of a qualified instructor. Now, our students have an opportunity once again to take the course. Students enrolling in VCT are eligible for financial aid and all other MC benefits. They must also meet all MC admission requirements; I will be happy to assist them with admission and registration.”
To register for the sign language course or any other VCT course, contact Brown at (432) 685-5538, jbrown@midland.edu
