The main objective of CC Online is to provide students with everything that they need to complete your Associate Degree. From the virtual campus students can access courses, learning resources and the library, student services including admissions and records and financial aid, counseling, etc.

The learning environment at Cerro Coso Online is somewhat different than many other virtual colleges. Cerro Coso Online offers the following differences:
* 9 Online Associate Degrees.
* No On-Campus Meetings. On-campus meetings are not required; some courses may require proctored exams but, other than that, all coursework is done online.
* No Self-Paced Courses. The College does not offer self-paced courses. This is because all of the courses follow a schedule similar to a traditional face-to-face course. Students will be expected to access their course, interact with their classmates and instructors, and complete assignments on a well-defined schedule.
* Highly Interactive Courses. It is required that students interact with their classmates and instructor. Although fellow classmates or instructor may be located thousands of miles away from students, they won't feel isolated!
