    Graduate applicants must have completed a bachelor’s degree program at an accredited college or university with a 2.5 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) or higher.

Graduate business, information technology, education, and criminal justice programs follow 12-week terms.

  • How do I participate in my classes?

    Courses are divided into one-week units. During each unit, students are expected to participate in class discussions, take quizzes, and submit at least one paper. Some courses have real-time learning experiences, called seminars, which happen at the same time for all students in a section. Professors will also hold optional online office hours at designated times.

  • How much time should I expect to spend on coursework?

    We estimate that students enrolled in 10-week terms require a minimum of 15 to 18 hours per week per course. Students enrolled in 12-week terms require a minimum of 20 to 25 hours per week per course. This includes time spent in the online classroom and studying offline. Advanced courses may require additional study time.

  • Can I join student clubs online? How do I meet other students?

    You can meet other students in your classroom at any time via the discussion board and seminars. Make sure to introduce yourself at the beginning of a course.

    The Center for Career Advancement offers comprehensive career planning to students and alumni, including résumé and cover letter reviews, mock interview assistance, and networking advice.

  • Are there any special benefits for military servicemembers?

    We believe active-duty military and veterans have earned a quality education through their service and should not have to pay excessive out-of-pocket expenses to reach their educational goals.

    Current servicemembers (including Guard and Reserve) save 55% per credit for undergraduate programs (plus we waive the resource fee) and 17% to 30% per credit for graduate programs. Veterans save 38% per credit for undergraduate programs and 14% per credit for graduate programs.
