There are no fixed start dates for distance learning programs. You may start immediately upon acceptance for enrollment and payment of fees. The student selects a specific curriculum to follow. The books and study materials are provided by the university and included in the cost of the program. The curriculum is comprised of a series of individual courses which earn a specified number of semester credit hours.
Most courses consist of ten modules.
After completing each course, the student will submit the examination, research paper or project for that course for evaluation. When the appropriate number of credit hours have been earned, and all fees have been paid, the student is awarded his or her degree. The performance appraisal for the different courses in your academic program vary. Some courses require case studies or reviews of related articles found in recent periodic literature, while other courses require you to complete an examination, a special project or a research paper. The course evaluation system does not require you to travel.
