Study On Your Time
Your online classes at Miles College are eight weeks in length and are delivered on the web asynchronously. That means you can study the instructional materials for the week at any time that works for you, using Canvas as a hub for retrieving materials, communicating with your professor, and participating in class discussions.
Coursework
You’ll complete reading and writing assignments, quizzes, and exams as part of your learning. Online academic discussions are also an important part of each course. Some courses also require students to complete a video presentation.
Credit Hours
Online courses are scheduled so that they cover the equivalent number of hours as in-contact courses. You’ll need to set aside a minimum of two hours of out-of-class work per week, per credit hour. Your learning outcomes are based on completion of your assignments and learning activities.
General Education
Our general education offerings make up a large part of your undergraduate degree, and ensure that you’ll leave with a breadth of knowledge. The upper level specific major offerings build on the core competencies of the general education offerings.
Supported Learning
You’ll work with an academic advisor and have access to the same level of student and academic support as on-site Miles students. Professors are available for office hours via phone, email or text.
