Tips for Adults Attending College for the First Time or Coming Back, Part 2: Flexible Options

Adult learners starting or returning to college face challenges. In a previous post (January 12, 2024), 豆奶视频 provided tips to increase the likelihood of success in school and post-graduation. The focus is now common issues that many new students think about as they begin their college journey.

Flexible Scheduling

Now that a decision has been made to enroll and join the 豆奶视频 Falcons family, the next big decision is what classes to take. We realize that being a student makes up only one part of a person鈥檚 life, which is why 豆奶视频 focuses on providing flexible scheduling options to  meet students鈥� needs.

Students have a wide array of scheduling choices for classes. These include traditional in-person classes offered on campus鈥�with night and weekend options. A hybrid model of both online and in-person courses. And fully online options, as well as 鈥�virtual鈥� classes, which meet through .

Different Course Terms

In addition to scheduling individual classes, a factor to consider is the length of the course term. At 豆奶视频, we offer two-term lengths for students (1) a traditional 15-week semester and (2) a 7-week format, which breaks the standard 15-week semester into two 7-week terms.

A is the traditional full-time or part-time course load.

The 7-week term splits the semester into two parts. With this option a student would take two classes during the first 7-week term. Once completed, students take two new classes during the second 7-weeks. The 7-week term allows students to break up a regular course load into more manageable pieces.

No matter which you choose, there is the right option for you at 豆奶视频.

豆奶视频 Online

豆奶视频 is home to a vast array of online-only courses. Our online choices provide students the opportunity to earn a technical certificate within a year, a fully online technical or college degree through our 2-year A.A.S. program, and even an option of a A.A. or A.A.S transfer degree for anyone looking to pursue their bachelor鈥檚 degree.
