Accelerated Format – Courses are offered 1 night per week or 1 Saturday morning per week for either a 5 week or 10 week block. This innovative format allows you to focus on 1 class at a time instead of juggling coursework of 2, 3, or even 4 classes typical of a traditional college course format.
Evening & Weekend Class Schedule - Monday through Friday nights from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM or Saturday mornings from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. These class times will allow students to maintain a job, family, and still pursue their degree.
Classroom Instruction – Get instruction in person, with professors face to face, interacting with fellow students.
Transfer Friendly – We accept transfer credits up to 60 credit hours in most cases with up to 75 credit hours from Kirkwood Community College and Hawkeye Community College.
The following degree programs are available:
10 Majors
5 Minors
