Distance learning is an integral part of Patrick Henry Community College's purpose and mission. The college is committed to relevant instruction that places the learner's needs first and uses a variety of delivery systems to produce lifelong learners.  PHCC provides geographically, financially and electronically accessible education that enhances the quality of life in the community.  

    Distance learning at Patrick Henry Community College is defined as a formal educational process in which the majority of the instruction occurs when student and instructor are not in the same place.    Distance learning courses at PHCC enable students to achieve their educational goals by delivering academically sound courses and educational support services that are flexible and responsive.  Courses are designed for students who are unable to travel to the main campus, or who need to work independently to pursue academic goals outside the traditional classroom setting.  Distance learning courses are equivalent academically to traditional courses, and many meet general education and transfer requirements.  Distance education courses require a strong student commitment.
