The limited residency courses allow students to fit instruction into a timeline that minimizes the amount of time they need to be away from work or home. Some residency courses fit the complete course into the residency period. Other residency courses have a portion of the instruction provided during the residency, with the remainder of the coursework completed throughout the semester over the Internet. For residency courses, housing accommodations are available on or near campus for a fee. The courses taught at our extension sites are very similar in nature to our courses on the main campus.
Students attend class at the scheduled time and are instructed in person by the school's faculty.
Course materials are distributed in class. Some courses require Internet access outside of class. Some courses are offered completely over the Internet and can be taken from your home or office without ever traveling to the main campus or one of the extension sites. Most of the Internet communication for the courses is asynchronous and does not require students to be connected at a particular time. Students are encouraged to mix and match the different types of courses to create a program that best fits their life and needs.
