Historical Note

Telecourses provide an opportunity for everyone with access to a television set to obtain college-level instruction for information and enrichment. Embracing a wide range of topics, a number of televised lecture series are prepared each quarter by members of the University faculty and are presented on the educational station, KCFS-TV, and on commercial stations in Seattle. Kinescope or videotape recordings are also released to stations throughout Washington as well as to stations in other parts of the country. Study guides prepared by the instructor may be purchased.
