11 Nov Online Classes at Huntington University

Huntington University has launched into online education by offering a variety of courses through the EXCEL adult education program.

The EXCEL courses are designed to fit the busy schedules of working students. No driving to campus. Instead, take classes in the comfort of your own home. Since the classroom is open 24/7, you “attend” class and participate in class activities and discussions when it’s most convenient for you.

Some details:

• Courses are 100% online, and typically last 7 weeks.
• Tuition is $310 per credit hour, plus a $150 technology fee for online courses.
• Students must participate in class activities each week.
• Classes “meet” at a website. Students receive a login and password to access the site, where they can find assignments, discussions, quizzes, and other classroom activities.
• Students do the work at their convenience.
• Instructors are available during office hours or by email. There’s a 24/7/365 help desk to answer technical questions.
• Some scholarship money is available to adult students. You might also qualify for government grant money.
• Books are mailed to your home two weeks before the class starts.
• Homework averages 8-10 hours per week.
• Your diploma is the same as the diploma traditional students receive (nothing indicates it was online education).
• You can finish an Associate of Science degree in 2.5 years, even with no previous college credits.

Two classes are in progress right now: “Introduction to Psychology” and “Life Science.” More classes will start in January, all worth 3 credit hours.
