Yes, CSU Online is equal to CSU. CSU Online students can expect the same degrees and level of quality as traditional on-campus programs because the same faculty teach online and on-campus courses. The main differences between studying online and on a physical campus are program delivery and scheduling flexibility. Distance learners use the Canvas learning management system to access coursework and instruction from wherever and whenever they have a broadband connection.
CSU Online also offers many of the same student support services that on-campus students receive: academic advising, tech support, library resources, tutoring, writing assistance, career exploration, and mental health resources.
