All courses begin January 26 and end May 3. These 14 week courses each require about 5.5 hours per week, for a total of 77 hours of instruction per course. All are self-paced and available
<b>online</b> through the college's Moodle server 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This makes it possible for the student to tailor each course to fit their own schedule and to suit their individual needs. Cost is $180 per course. The instructor is Dr. Doug Holland,
who holds a PH.D. from the School of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences at Auburn University, and has been teaching aquaculture for more than 20 years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
