Online courses give students the ability to participate in on-campus life without needing to be physically present. Courses lead toward associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees. Online courses, just like regular courses, are organized into a series of lessons with lectures, reading assignments, and homework.
Online delivery of courses provides a number of advantages to students:
- The course is not time and place specific. Students will be able to complete the work at a time and place convenient to them.
- Online courses are highly interactive with a constant flow of communication between the instructor and the student through the use of e-mail, discussion forums, and chat groups.
- Readings for the classes can be made available electronically. Internet links to books, journals, magazines, newspapers, and other web sites provides the student with instant access to supplemental materials needed to successfully complete the class.
We offer a wide range of services to students enrolled in online courses:
- 24-hour access to learning
- Technical assistance
- Virtual library services
- Online bookstore
