Weekend classes offered fall semester at reduced cost

Pellissippi State students can take weekend classes this fall and pay half the normal cost of tuition.

The Weekend Scholars program provides an alternative for students who may not be able to attend during the week or take classes online, according to Anthony Wise, vice president of the Learning Division for the College.

“Pellissippi State is committed to offering quality education that is accessible, affordable and practical during these challenging economic times,” said Wise.

Students can take general education classes in disciplines such as English, mathematics and history, as well as in video production technology and music appreciation. The College already offers science labs, video-based courses and public speaking classes Friday evenings and Saturdays.

The reduced rate applies to all fall weekend courses. “Weekend” classes are defined as those that begin on Friday 3 p.m. or after and those offered on Saturday.

Classes will be at the Pellissippi Campus. For more information, call 694-6400.
