Student Appeal
The University has developed an award-winning online classroom with easy-to-follow links for students to attend class for assignments and lectures on your schedule, discuss lessons with instructors, conduct research at the online library, and receive support from services like the writing center and study center. The online classes are small for a distinctive active-learning advantage. Because the instructors spend time learning online themselves, they approach teaching from the student's point of view, knowing firsthand what works. Online faculty has access to multimedia teaching tools to present live demonstrations, event simulations, and presentation of techniques, so students hear about concepts as well as see them in action. In addition, the school provides leading-edge equipment as it becomes available to the faculty, and interacts constantly with them to make sure that students receive an enriching online experience.
