'Evening College' Brings Back Night Class Options

Oct. 22, 2018 - Starting this Spring Semester, Richmond Community College will be offering “Evening College” that will allow people to take more face-to-face classes in the evening and complete more degrees taking only evening classes.

“Over the past several years, we have worked to increase the number of online classes we offer, but we’re seeing more people who want to have face-to-face time with an instructor in a traditional classroom setting,” said Dr. Dale McInnis, president of Richmond Community College. “Evening College will accommodate these people as well as people who have a full-time job or take care of family needs during the day.”

Anyone looking to complete an Associate in Applied Science or an Associate in Arts university transfer degree will now have plenty of class options in the evening. The College will also offer some hybrid evening classes, which will include the traditional class at night along with an online component. Beginning this spring, the Business Administration degree will be offered as a hybrid evening program.

Other evening classes include nursing assistant, pharmacy technician, welding, integrated machining, industrial systems, electrical systems, HVAC and plumbing. 

Evening classes also include personal enrichment such as yoga, sewing, digital photography and piano, as well as free small business seminars and adult basic education classes.

“We are excited to be offering something new and exciting this spring. We’ve been listening to the needs of our students and the community as a whole, and Evening College will help make education more attainable and more convenient for more people,” McInnis said.
