How and Where You Will Study
Students have three options:
- In-Person at Richland or Blair: Students attend classes in person at designated Penn Highlands locations during scheduled daytime hours. Hands-on learning, face-to-face instruction, and on-campus resources support student success.
- 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.
- Virtual Accelerated Program: Classes are held on Zoom two nights a week. These accelerated programs feature 6 or 7-week sessions instead of the traditional 15 weeks, allowing you to complete your studies faster by focusing on just two or three courses at a time. Programs run year-round in the fall, spring, and summer.
