  • Comfort with electronic communication (written, video chat etc)
  • Ability to study independently

Time Commitment听

An on-campus 3-credit course traditionally requires approximately 6 hours per week of dedicated study time in and out of the classroom.

An online, undergraduate 3-credit course requires approximately 6-8 hours of dedicated study and participation in the virtual听classroom per week. Graduate coursework often requires a higher level of time commitment听per week.

Accelerated or shortened courses 鈥� such as summer session 鈥� increase the weekly academic workload per credit hour in order to attain the same amount of credits in an abbreviated time period. Contact your instructor directly for the estimated amount of work per week required to be successful in this type of course.

It is important to consider other personal and professional commitments as you decide to pursue online coursework.
