Program Format, Design and Structure
We know that everyone has preferences when it comes to online program offerings in order to best fit their specific learning style. That's why we've included some helpful information below about the format, design and structure of our online courses and programs.
The majority of our online programs are offered in an asynchronous format. (Asynchronous learning involves students working at their own pace during times that work best for their learning style.) A few of our online programs may have synchronous components with optional attendance, such as office hours or recitations/review sessions. (Synchronous learning involves students and instructors gathering together in a virtual live class or meeting.)
Browse ProgramsAll online courses are faculty-facilitated, interactive courses that require regular communication between students and the instructor. All courses are highly structured and move through the content as a class and at a designated pace. Course deliverables including assignments, projects, assessments, etc. are scheduled and must be submitted at the designated due dates.
The following aspects of course design are most notable to students:
• Courses have quality and rigor similar to that of a face-to-face class.
• Frequent interaction/communication between students and the instructor is required.
• Students are expected to participate in discussion with other students.
• Some courses require students to work and interact in groups.
Our online programs are designed to be high quality and rigor similar to that of a face-to-face class. An online student in one of our programs can expect to utilize modules as sections of organized information about the course, usually on a week-by-week basis. There will be a variety of assignments (quizzes/exams, individual or group projects, papers/reports, etc.) in addition to discussion board conversations as well as conferences/webinars/virtual meetings.
