You will typically learn through this method of instruction which consists of lecture, group work, lab projects, and other traditional types of activities. Most courses are taught through this type of instructor-student interaction model. However, lecture-based learning can be supplemented with online components.
Short Courses, Seminars, and Workshops
Kellogg Community College’s Lifelong Learning develops offerings based on national trends and/or input from individuals, businesses, and the health care community. Content varies and includes enrichment topics, state-mandated continuing education requirements, professional skill development (both for profit and not-for-profit businesses), employment retraining, skill upgrades, and nationally-recognized certification programs. College credit is awarded based on course duration and nature of instruction. Contact the Lifelong Learning Manager for more information.
Small Group Option
When a class has low enrollment, but an instructor is willing to teach it on the basis of meeting half or more of the designated time and develop additional independent work for students, the Small Group Option may be offered to those students enrolled in the class. This option allows you the choices of dropping the class and re-enrolling in a different semester or taking the class in a “small group,” which means the class will meet half or more of the scheduled time, and independent study projects will be required for the rest of the class time.
Learning Resource Center
The Emory W. Morris Learning Resource Center provides support for student research and learning needs. Open over 65 hours per week, evening and weekend services are available.
Resources Available
The staff of the Learning Resource Center encourage you to seek their support in locating the best information available for research and learning needs. A collection of over 60,000 book and media titles is accessed through the online catalog. To further assist you in gaining information research skills, orientations are held for classes.
The Learning Resource Center participates in the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) and other interlibrary loan programs to obtain information that the College does not own. The Reference/Information Desk staff assist users in linking up with these external resources.
A statewide database of e-journals and e-books provides students with access to needed research materials. Students can use the materials in other Michigan libraries by participating in the State’s MichiCard library access program, available in the Learning Resource Center.

Kellogg Community College has four academic centers: the Grahl Center in Coldwater, the Fehsenfeld Center in Hastings, the Regional Manufacturing Technology Center in Battle Creek, and the Eastern Academic Center in Sheridan Township. The Eastern Academic, Fehsenfeld, and Grahl Centers provide transfer and applied degree courses, as well as academic and financial aid advising, payment opportunities, and bookstore services.
