Ways to learn Accordion Closed
Structured and guided
Take courses through the Blackboard Learn (BbLearn) platform, which allows you to connect with professors and peers, participate in discussions and presentations, and collaborate on projects, similar to an in-person class but from the locations and during the times that work for you. Most online classes are asynchronous, meaning you login and “attend class” when most convenient. Some classes are synchronous, with set times when you are required to login and participate. Look for asynchronous or synchronous when registering for online classes.
Self-paced Personalized Learning
If you’re motivated to complete your bachelor’s degree online on your schedule and with no set classes or schedules, our self-paced Personalized Learning might be for you. Take a quick online self-assessment to find out.
