Pocatello -- Area high school students at select high schools
can get a jump on their college educations at a bargain price by taking
classes offered via the Southeast Idaho Rural Vocational Technical Distance
Learning Network. Classes are also available to adults.
The network offers credit/non-credit courses to southeast Idaho high school students at a reduced fee of $50 per credit hour.
ISU is linked through the distance learning network to several outreach centers throughout Idaho, including Ashton, Bancroft, Blackfoot, Mackay, Malad, Montpelier, and Soda Springs.
Several of the courses allow high school students to receive dual credit at ISU and individual high schools, allowing them to get an early start on their college education while fulfilling their high school graduation requirements.
Adults are also welcome to participate in the distance learning network at the regular fee of $157 per credit hour.
