Our programs are designed for working professionals and non-traditional learners who need flexibility in order to balance their competing responsibilities. With rolling start dates for most of our programs, you can begin the process of earning a bachelor's degree whenever it's most convenient for you.
Our tuition prices are among the lowest in the region and many of our students are eligible for additional discounts. Every student who participates in one of our online program is welcome to take advantage of the personalized support offered by the Burton Center for Student Success and the Office of Career and Life Planning. Our faculty understand the challenges of pursuing higher education while working and taking care of a family, and are dedicated to working with you to help you succeed.
$350 PER CREDIT HOUR
Our out-of-pocket costs are some of the lowest in the region. Many students qualify for price reductions and scholarships, including discounts for currently working in an occupation related to the program or graduating from one of our partner colleges.
ROLLING START DATES
Most of our programs have new courses starting every eight weeks. Whether you want to follow a traditional fall-to-spring schedule or get started as soon as possible, we have you covered. Choose the schedule that works for you. The next start date for each program is listed below.
PERSONALIZED SUPPORT
Online students have access to the same academic resources as our main campus students, including peer advising from the Burton Center for Student Success and job skills training from Career and Life Planning. Each student also receives individual guidance to help them get started in the program.
