Online Courses

ONLINE PROGRAMS

Online courses are similar to classroom courses with an instructor who holds an advanced degree in the field of study and fellow students. Coursework includes reading, viewing and listening to content; participating in discussions; communicating via email; completing assignments; and taking quizzes and exams. Instead of meeting in a classroom, you may access your course anytime, anywhere from your computer or mobile device. Some online courses will require you to come to campus for tests.  

There is a weekly schedule of assignments so you need to access the class daily to stay current.  Because online learning courses involve more reading and writing, and less speaking and listening, they are usually more time consuming than classroom courses.

Take a quiz to see if you are ready to take an online or hybrid course
