Two summer postsecondary classes will be offered in Alamo during the summer months, June 10 – July 19.  The classes are offered through Navajo Technical University.

1. ADM202-Office Communications – The purpose of this class is to develop professional oral and written proficiency that will lead to career success.  Students will be introduced to the communication process through writing clear, concise business documents. 
2. ENG-111 (Composition and Research) – This course further develops the skills learned in ENG 110 with an added focus on research techniques and writing that require the use of the MLA documentation style. Prerequisites for this class include a grade C or higher in English 105 or Eng 110.

Both classes will run 6 hours/week and maybe two Saturday classes.  There must be 45 contact hours for a 3 credit hour class, therefore, classes will run longer.  If you are interested, please register now, there needs to be at least 10 students to make a class.
