Online learning is a flexible learning plan that empowers students to earn a degree at an accelerated rate or at a speed that fits their personal lifestyle. Although courses are not self-paced, they are designed to allow students the flexibility to work full time, go to school full time, or be a parent or caregiver.
Online learners are self-driven. While instructors and advisors are here to guide the learning process and teach the material, successful online students are organized and take action to do assignments, readings, and course materials on their own. Since there are no mandatory meetings or class sessions it is vital that students stay engaged in the learning process.
