Community college offers no textbook classes
WYTHEVILLE (WCC) - Going to college just got a little bit less expensive for students at Wytheville Community College (WCC). WCC now offers students significant savings by providing classes this fall that do not require them to buy books or supplemental course materials. Nearly 20 courses with almost 30 sections will not require a textbook or will use materials that cost less than $40. Last year, WCC's administration committed to offering a "zero" textbook cost degree, the Associates of Arts and Sciences in Science with a Specialization in Mathematics. In addition, WCC's schedule also includes low or no-cost textbook option courses in Administrative Support Technology, Business, Communication Studies and Theatre, Health, Humanities, Information Technology Database, and Information Technology Essentials.
