Academically Rigorous Programs

Our online courses are taught by the same nationally recognized, award winning faculty that teach in-person, on-campus. Online programs must go through the same academic review processes that in-person programs undergo. Because online programs are as academically rigorous as the equivalent in-person programs, your diploma does not state that your degree was earned online – it looks no different from the one earned by students who come to campus for all their classes.
