Mission

Our mission is to leverage advances in innovative technologies and educational models to provide high-quality, flexible, and affordable distance education programs so students can attain recognized degrees that advance their careers and improve their lives.

This includes employing:

  • Outcomes-based education in which course length is measured by demonstrated achievement of learning outcomes through carefully crafted objective and performance assessments;
  • Technology-assisted learning environments, where students learn at their own pace and according to their personal learning style;
  • Peer-to-peer learning communities in which students share their knowledge and skills and help each other obtain recognized degrees and credentials;
  • Pedagogical models in which the faculty serve as mentors and coaches as well as subject matter experts;
  • Evaluation systems that measure student achievement solely on whether students meet rigorous standards clearly articulated, and recognized; and
  • Affordable tuition models.
