How Self-Paced Learning Works

Self-paced courses involve individual teaching of a student by an instructor on a one-on-one basis. You will learn by completing assignments using texts, study guides and other course materials. Communication with your instructor, as well as lesson submission, will take place by surface mail, fax, phone, email or your online classroom. Multiple course offerings are available to complete your degree.
