Online Learning

Online Learning is a flexible option for busy students. Students may enroll in online courses to meet degree requirements, take electives, or complete courses ahead of time. Online courses do not meet on campus, and students complete assignments according to their own schedules. Many courses are unique to AU, and provide learning opportunities for enrolled and non-enrolled students.
