Key Summary
About: Richmond Community College’s Flex4 helps busy parents and shift workers earn an Associate in Arts via blended eight‑week modules. You attend one evening a week for four weeks, then keep class online for four weeks; take two classes per eight‑week block (four per semester). Small classes (average 17) let instructors know you and you’ll develop a career plan in your first semester.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can enter entry-level roles or transfer toward a bachelor’s degree. Potential careers include administrative assistant, teaching assistant, customer service representative. You’ll gain skills in communication, critical thinking and workforce readiness. Keywords: transfer-ready, workforce development.
Flex4 is RichmondCC’s limited time, endless possibilities approach education. Our goal is to enable busy parents and alternating shift workers to earn an Associate in Arts degree.
Flex4 allows students to enroll in eight-week evening classes, heading to campus one evening a week for four weeks and then switching that class to online for the remaining four weeks. Each semester students are able to take two classes the first eight weeks and two classes the second eight weeks completing four classes each semester.
This approach allows students to interact directly with their professor, become comfortable with expectations and assignments, and easily adjust to an online platform while retaining that face-to-face interactive feel with the instructor.
