Course Information
There are two types of online classes:
- Web courses offer students the flexibility to obtain an education via the Internet. Instructional materials, readings, assignments, and in some cases class discussions may be accessed anywhere with internet access. Some web courses may require on-site or proctored testing at an approved testing center in any geographic location.
- Blended/Hybrid learning courses require some on-campus time and offer the flexibility to incorporate distance learning with on-site instruction.
