“Academic coaches and faculty made my experience unforgettable and unique. I never felt like just a number or name on a roster. My coach made sure I got what I needed when I needed it and stuck with me during difficult times. Faculty was always ready to help and still continues to after I’ve graduated, which is something I value so much as I take this journey beyond the degree.”

This depends on which format is available for your program, your preferred learning style and your schedule.
With our GuidedPath option you’ll have predictable course timelines and weekly deadlines to keep you on track. It’s best for students who thrive on regular peer and faculty interactions but need the flexibility of online learning.
In our FlexPath learning format, you’ll set your own deadlines and complete assessments at your own pace. You’ll engage one-on-one with faculty for feedback and get support from academic coaches when you need it. Take one or two courses at a time and move on to the next one when you’re ready. Complete as many courses as you can in each 12-week billing session.
