CSC To Expand Class Schedule Options
Carl Sandburg College will offer students Saturday classes this coming Spring semester.

The college is offering two sets of eight week classes in a variety of different subjects that will combined both online course work and a traditional classroom period on Saturdays.

Associate Dean of Social and Behavioral Sciences Jill Johnson tells WGIL the hope is to make getting a higher education easier for those people who are juggling work and school.

"Sometimes it is just too much to work eight to nine hours a day and then go into a college course and it can be so mentally draining because it does take a lot of cognitive effort to sit in a classroom," says Johnson. "So if we offer classes on Saturday, we're hoping that will alleviate some of that stress."

Johnson says right now the college is just trying out this new arrangement and if they get enough people interested they'll then consider extending the Saturday classes into the Fall semester.

Some of the classes being offered are Principles of Financial Accounting, Intro to Sociology and Intro to English.
