We understand that online education may not be the right choice for everyone. To help you in deciding if you should apply to an online program, please consider the characteristics of a successful online student.

• Possess great time management skills: Students should be able to set aside up to 15 hours per course to adequately participate in all required assignments and tasks.

• Be college ready: The admissions team will determine readiness by assessing transcripts, life experience and, in some cases, asking students to take a placement test.

• Students should have access to a desktop computer or laptop.
• High speed internet.
