Description
The College of Southern Nevada recently embarked on a program offering select courses at midnight. This presentation will highlight the history of the program, including its inception, highlights, and pitfalls. We will also provide full disclosure into the offbeat problems never expected, such as locked doors, automatic lights, and limitations of registration software. In a 24 hour town, online education might not be the only wise option for night owls who want to attend college.
