Programs are offered through a variety of delivery modes to meet the needs of our
mobile constituency. The same rigorous curriculum and learning outcomes assessments
are applied across all modalities.
Local Campus
Students meet face-to-face each week for interactive,
seminar-style instruction. Students also meet weekly to work in smaller
Learning Teams outside of class meetings.
Online
Students interact online for
asynchronous, seminar-style instruction at times and places that work best for
them. Internet access is used in lieu of face-to-face meetings.
FlexNet®
A combination of local campus and online modalities,
FlexNet® is structured for students who require scheduling flexibility, but who
also prefer some face-to-face class meetings.
About the Online Campus
The University of Phoenix Online Campus is an outcome of the University's
recognition of the technological transformation of the workplace and the needs
of the working adult student. Rather than gathering in a traditional classroom,
students and instructors interact electronically and asynchronously, resulting
in increased access for students by allowing them to control the time and place
of their participation.
University of Phoenix Online education is interactive and participative.
Students are active members of a Learning Group of between eight and 14 working
adults, and work in smaller Learning Teams for special projects. Students
complete one course at a time, progressing to the next course in the same way
as students who meet at our on-campus classrooms.
The Online Learning System
The Online Campus utilizes the Online Learning System to make group learning
independent of time and location. The Online Learning System can be accessed
through an Internet Service Provider. When students log on to our Web site,
they can check their e-mail and access student services.
