Although the semester started Delta still has open classes for late start this semester. You can search the course at the Delta College website to see which courses are available with late start dates.
According to Director of Marketing and Communications Alex Breitler, there are 193 courses available on February 19 for late start classes.
Breitler feels taking late-start classes can benefit students.
“We definitely encourage students who take late start classes,” he said. “These additional dates provide some flexibility for students who may be juggling family or work obligations and may not be able to take a full-term class.”
The most important date is March 18 because that is when 131 late-start classes begin. People who need another class can look into classes like business classes, agriculture classes, science classes, and health classes just to name a few.
https://www.deltacollege.edu/open-class-list#spring24 is an updated list of open classes. One of those classes is ANTHR. 2 Biological Anthropology which can cover Life Science requirements for degrees.
It has no pre-requirements but it is recommended students complete either English 1 or English 2. This course introduces the concepts, methods of inquiry, and scientific explanations for biological evolution and their application to humans.
Issues and topics will include genetics, evolutionary theory, human variation, biological adaptations, primate anatomy, and the fossil evidence for human evolution.
It is available both online and in person.
If you’re not interested in Science, many more options have no pre-requirements. Business classes are available like BUS. 21 Marketing, this course introduces you to marketing and provides information about advertising, selling, and retailing.
It is also available both online and in person.
Lastly, there is a class that is useful because most students use Social Media. MCOM. 5, 01A Social Media/Society is a course that looks at the rise of social media as it pertains to mass communication.
Topics will include the cultural impact of content, the evolution of social media, and the positive and negative impacts of directed campaigns.
This course is only available online.
One of the students taking ANTHR. 2 starting on March 18 is incoming freshman Jonathan Flores.
Flores had lots of questions coming to Delta.
He is majoring in Business Administration but he wanted to see what college-level classes would be like. The two courses he took for a late start are Biological Anthropology and Health Education.
Flores is grateful that Delta offers late-start classes
“I’m happy Delta has these options for students because I wouldn’t have been able to take any classes this semester but I’m able to take two Gen Ed classes to get an idea on Junior College and my education path,” Flores said. “Balancing school and a full-time job is hard and coming out of High School I didn’t know if I wanted to continue my education or not.”
To qualify for Financial aid you need to take a minimum of 4 classes and using late-start classes can help students fill out their schedules before completing their FAFSA forms for student aid.
