Independent Yet Connected
Online learning isn't for everyone. Some individuals need a regular classroom environment. You will need personal discipline to work independently, but you will also feel connected with fellow students, your mentor(s), and other instructors using e-mail, online chat, phone calls, etc. You will be encouraged to participate in online learning communities.

The pace of progress through your program is determined by you. A student who enters with competencies in a subject area speed up the time it takes to earn a degree. More importantly, if you commit over 15 hours per week, you can be ready for the program assessments more quickly. You aren't required to stick to a pre-determined timeline.

Take our quiz to determine if you're a candidate for online learning.
