The Flexible Class Options We Offer

We provide our students with various class options. These options include online, hybrid, and face-to-face. Having flexible classes is great for a wide range of people, especially those needing to take a single course over the summer, to help them keep on track. We've detailed these class options below:

Online college courses are a flexible and convenient option for busy schedules and freedom to self-direct.

Also known as in-person classes, these take place entirely on campus.

The Benefits of Hybrid Classes

Hybrid classes combine online learning and face-to-face learning and are a wonderful option for students wanting the best of both worlds.
