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.
No matter which online program you select, you will find:
- Programs built on the latest industry trends
- Courses taught by nationally recognized faculty, experts in their fields
- A diverse group of students engaged in advancing their careers and educational goals
