College of the Air (COA) offers more than 40 fully accredited college-level courses for students who cannot regularly attend an institution of higher education. These courses provide an alternative method of participating in a college-level learning experience using a variety of instructional materials. Some of the courses are "on the air" by being broadcast on the NCC radio station, WHPC-FM 90.3, or they are on television via WLIW-TV 21, Long Island's PBS station or Public Access Television Channel 71 (Great Neck).These student-centered learning opportunities are designed for individuals who have the motivation, commitment and discipline required for working in a directed independent study mode.
