Z-Courses & Z-Degree

Z-programs are classes and degree(s) that can make college freer...and in some cases completely free* for eligible students. Taking Online Z-classes or majoring in an Online Z-degree means there are no additional fees or textbook costs for Z-programs. For students with any source of full financial aid, an Online Z-degree could make college completely free. Z-classes and Z-degree(s) are great for any student interested in reducing out-of-pocket costs for course materials, including textbooks. Motlow is working hard to increase the number of Z-courses and Z-degrees it offers. Our Z-list will be updated weekly as we approach the Fall semester. Online classes in the course schedule coded as Z in the class title are Motlow's first no-fee, no-textbook-cost classes. On-ground Z-courses are on the horizon. Taken online, the AAS Business Major with a concentration in Business Office is our first complete Z-degree (no-course fees or textbooks costs for the entire degree program). Watch for more to be added soon.
