Welcome to Our Online Instruction Center

The Educational Service Center of Medina County offers graduate credit for online courses. You can receive either one or two semester hours per class from Ashland University. One final assignment must be completed in addition to the online coursework. 2.4 CEUs are also available.

There are two ways to learn! In our Instructor-Moderated Courses (IMC), you study and interact with a cohort over a six-week schedule. Courses start monthly with twice-weekly lesson plans. For the independent learner, our Self-Guided Courses (SGC) also start monthly. You can work through the course content at your own pace without an instructor. Self-Guided Courses must be completed within three months. You can take any of these courses from the comfort of your home or office at the times that are most convenient for you.
