Accessibility

Our Online B.A. in English is an accessible program that allows students to attend classes while maintaining a full-time job. We make sure that all the courses you'll need to complete your degree are available for you to take online, and we make sure that those courses can suit your schedule.

In fall, spring, and summer semesters, we offer our courses on weekday evenings in two formats:

  1. some courses are entirely online, meaning that all students attend class via video link
  2. other classes are “hybrid,” meaning that our online students join our onsite students in the classroom via video link.

In both types of courses, online students participate in classroom discussion every step of the way. The video apps we use for these courses – Zoom and Skype – are simple to use and make it easy to be part of the conversation. You can see your professor and your classmates, and you can speak or type to make a contribution. This is just one of the ways we make sure that our online programs give you the same professors, same courses, same degree as you'd get face-to-face.
