    In addition to a strong personal commitment, some key things you will need to be successful are:

    • Reliable personal or public transportation to TCC’s Southeast campus
    • Attendance of ALL scheduled classes
    • Reliable access to internet for the online portion of the program
    • A support network of people, such as family and friends, to encourage you and help with any responsibilities you have so that you can stay focused on the program while on-campus and while studying off-campus (both will be a major part of the program!)
    • Determination to learn, study, and ask questions.
