Convenient classes, flexibility and affordability
Online learning is a convenient way to fit classwork into YOUR life. You’ll save time and money, avoid commutes and gain flexibility with your work schedule. Plus, childcare arrangements and other scheduling issues or conflicts that might come up in a traditional college program will be less of a concern.

Online learning has provided me the opportunity to attend college while working full time and raising a family. I am able to access course materials, participate in classroom discussions and receive feedback from instructors at any personal location, and on a schedule that works best for me. What I have received the most from online learning is self-accountability and discipline.

What I value most in online teaching is the constant challenge of developing innovative learning strategies to meet the curiosity and drive of the students. The students are great; creative, bright, hardworking, and resourceful. It is truly a pleasure to watch people go from complete strangers to supporting each other’s learning experience forming relationships and community. Their efforts push me to grow right along with them.
