According to its student handbook for distance education, UAM's online courses are generally not self-paced. Depending on the coursework, instructors set specific schedules of when assignments are due, which may be daily, weekly, or monthly. While UAM's online programs allow for some convenience and scheduling flexibility, some online courses may require more time than those offered on campus.
Additionally, OnlineU's proprietary Salary Score ranks colleges by how much their alumni earn compared to graduates with the same degree nationwide. SHU has a bachelor's degree Salary Score of 17 (out of 100) and 10 for its master's degrees.
