What is the online course experience like?

As with any other course, an online class involves reading, completing assignments/projects, and taking examinations, all of which is done through the universally recognized Blackboard software system that supports the courses. Please note that final examinations for certain courses are conducted on campus or at pre-arranged testing centers. Through this system, you will participate in regular online discussion groups that focus on the material being covered. You will have an interactive experience with the faculty and other students in the class. In this supportive environment, everyone has his or her say. And because the online class is asynchronous, you can participate whenever it is convenient for you. 24/7 technology support is available to all online students.
