Why Online Courses?
Online courses provide an opportunity for students to complete all
course requirements from their home or office. Depending on the
course, students may be required to take
proctored or non-proctored
examinations. Participants will have the changes to interact
with the instructor and other students, regardless of location using a
variety of technologies. Online courses allow students with
non-traditional work schedules and/or home responsibilities to take
college courses and pursue their education.
