Online courses enable students to customize their learning to their time and their place since the courses are taught primarily via the Internet rather than in the classroom. Online courses are not independent study courses. These courses are highly structured and involve frequent interactions with the instructor and with other students enrolled in the courses. Students use the Internet for communicating with the instructor and other students, accessing course materials, conducting research, and submitting assignments.
For some courses, a minimal number of on-campus visits may be required. Textbooks and course packs required for some courses can be ordered from the campus bookstore.
It is not necessary to have a high level of computer proficiency, but students should have some computer experience navigating the Internet and using e-mail. The ability to use a word processing program is very important in an online course.
Current course offerings for Online courses can be found on page 80-81 of the current online schedule.
