Night classes serve students, community Night classes play a major part in college life. There are times when students can not work a particular class into their daytime schedule. These are the times when night classes are considered. Monday through Thursday students meet once a week, sometimes more often, from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. Since these classes usually last for three hours, this allows the class to meet for the same amount of time as the regular daytime classes. Night classes serve non-traditional students as well as the traditional college age student. People from the surrounding communities often attend night classes at Barton County Community College to simply take a class about a particular sub¬ ject in which they are interested. Many take these classes to further their educa¬ tion, striving toward an Associate Degree. Many of these people maintain a full-time job while taking night classes. For whatever reason, night classes serve both the on campus students and the sur¬ rounding communities. Night Class 15
