Online Learning

Online courses don’t require students to use testing centers or come to campus for any portion. These courses are highly structured and involve frequent online interactions with your instructor and classmates.

Alternatively, students can take a combination of online and in-person classes to earn a degree or certificate. Speak to an advisor to see which combination is right for you!

Types of Classes

Hybrid

Courses have 50% of the course instruction in-person in a classroom. The remaining time involves activities like fieldwork, field trips and extended projects.

In-Person

Courses are taught in a traditional classroom setting.

Online Blended

Courses are taught primarily online, but may require proctored exams and quizzes in-person or special projects like giving a speech to a group of people.

Completely Online
