Is Distance Learning for me?

Distance education certainly offers a great deal of convenience for students whose schedules or location make it difficult for them to attend classes at one of our 6 campuses or more than 70 off-campus sites.

A few things to consider when deciding whether distance education is for you:

  • Distance education requires self-discipline and the management of time conflicts that may affect coursework.
  • Web or distance-based courses may often require more time than taking classes at a campus or other location.

In addition, online classes:

  • require you to be highly interactive
  • require you to log on the first day of class and participate frequently
  • require moderate computer and online skills
