How and Where You Will Study
Students have two options:
- Asynchronous Online Program: Complete your coursework in a fully asynchronous online environment through our learning management system, Brightspace. This flexible format means there are no set class times. You can watch videos, read course materials, and submit assignments on your own schedule, as long as you meet the due dates set by your instructor.
- In-Person Accelerated Program at the Somerset Center: Students attend classes in person, typically two evenings a week. Instead of the traditional 15-week format, courses are offered in accelerated 6- or 7-week sessions year-round. This allows you to progress more quickly by focusing on fewer courses at once. Accelerated options run year-round.
