A 21st century version of the correspondence course

This online diploma program is rooted in the distance learning schools of the 19th and early 20th century. Students would return completed homework by mail and seldom receive any feedback from an instructor. Today, our students receive the same level of support as our residential students. We provide them with many avenues for communicating with classmates and instructors, including chat, IM and e-mail. We have robust course management software, Blackboard™. And if you have questions about how it works, we have an online Help Desk ready to respond.
