With more than 100 fully online programs, Wake Tech consistently ranks at the top for online instruction. It has been named the No. 1 online community college in the U.S. by several sources and is among Newsweek magazine's Top 120 online colleges and universities in 2023.
Wake Tech's goal is to provide superior online learning in an environment that is as accessible as possible to a diverse learning community. Each faculty and staff member is committed to empowering students and facilitating success.
An appropriately created and delivered virtual course takes full advantage of best practices for creative engagement, group interaction and instructor feedback. Studies have shown that, in many cases, virtual learning experiences meet or exceed expectations.
As beneficial as the virtual classroom can be, it is not an ideal environment for everyone. New students must complete the eLearning Intro before enrolling in an online course. Current students who have not successfully completed an online course at Wake Tech must also complete the eLearning Intro before registering for another online course.
Before enrolling in an online course or program, students should do the following;
Carefully explore the basic requirements of courses through course preview
Become familiar with the online environment in the Blackboard Orientation
