The benefit: you can study when you want. Just go online to get your assignments, post responses to messages and receive worksheets to assist you in your class. You have required reading and assignments each week like a traditional classroom, but may work on them at anytime of the day throughout that week – whenever it is convenient for you.
Class size
Whether traditional on-site classes or online, Concordia strives for smaller class sizes to ensure individual instruction for all students. Each class in the Degree Completion Program is limited to a maximum of 22 students. At the same time, the program needs to remain self-supporting, so no group will begin with fewer than 12 students. If there are not sufficient students at the time a group is scheduled to begin, the university will either postpone or cancel that group. In the event of cancellation because of insufficient enrollment, all monies will be refunded to the students.
Computer requirements
You will be required to have Internet and should be running the latest version (or close to the latest version) of the browser in order for the web-based program to work correctly. If sending attachments send them as Word documents or as Word-compatible documents.
