Broadcast Telecourses
(provided by the ECB on Wisconsin's Public Television Stations)
You, too, can join an increasing number of busy people who are finding that "telecourses" — college-level courses airing on public television — are an excellent way to earn credit toward a degree. Combining quality course content with flexibility, telecourses are made available by the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board (ECB) and are broadcast on Wisconsin's public television stations. Each semester, a variety of courses are offered on Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) and Milwaukee Public Television's (Channel 36).
College Courses That Suit Your Busy Life
Telecourses reach beyond the boundaries of traditional classrooms to accommodate learners who require a flexible schedule. You can earn college credit by recording the video lectures, viewing them when it's convenient for you, and completing other assigned coursework.
Most telecourses offer undergraduate or graduate credit, recertification, or continuing education credit through participating University of Wisconsin campuses, UW-Extension through UW Learning Innovations, and the Wisconsin Technical College System. Non-credit enrichment telecourses sometimes are included in the broadcast schedule as well.
