Academics

College is full of questions. Start here, and if there’s more you want to know, reach out. We’re happy to help. 

Well, some of both, actually. In 2019, we dove into a new, fast-paced, highly-focused class format by offering most classes in an 8-week term format, with the idea being that students would take fewer classes at once, but finish them faster. The end result was the same, but the pace was different. This proved largely successful, but some materials just aren’t meant to be absorbed that quickly, and some labs require more time for in-person instruction. Now we let the deans and faculty work together to determine what’s right for their programs and what our students feel is best for them. The result is a healthy balance of both formats, based on what our faculty believes is the best way to successfully learn and retain the material. 

Typically yes. All coursework previously completed at a regionally accredited institution of higher education will be accepted as transfer credit. However, it’s important to point out that not all credit will necessarily apply toward program requirements. Work with one of our academic advisors to review your specific coursework and determine what will apply to your desired program.

Of course. College is all about finding your way, learning who you are and finding what you love to do. One way to accomplish those things is by finding who you aren’t and what you don’t love to do. If you want to change your major, concentration or field of study anytime, work with a Student Success advisor to determine a path that feels more like you.
