NEMCC OFFERS DEGREE THAT ELIMINATES TRADITIONAL TEXTBOOKS - Allie Martin, WCBI

BOONEVILLE, MISS. (WCBI) – A local community college is helping students combat the increasing costs for textbooks. When Stacia Massey walks to class, she doesn’t need a backpack, or a stack of bulky textbooks. The NEMCC general studies student has everything she needs on her iPad. It is less stressful to keep up with the books, cause you have to buy a backpack to keep them all in, but just having an iPad is just like having your phone,” said Massey. NEMCC is the first college in the state to offer a degree program that doesn’t require any textbooks. https://www.wcbi.com/nemcc-offers-degree-that-eliminates-need-for-traditional-textbooks/
