About Degrees

Our degree programs are available on-demand, and 100% online allowing you to start your program immediately and progress at your own pace to complete each course within the 8-week recommended timeline. They offer the same academic rigor and content as any other degree program, but with greater flexibility.

We offer degree programs in a wide variety of business and computer science subject areas. Browse our degree programs page to see what we offer.

You have up to five years to complete your degree program. You can find more information on completing your degree program on our Policies and Procedures page at the bottom of our homepage.

While none of our degree programs are considered 'terminal degrees', if you intend to study for your PhD, you should consider enrolling in our MBA Research track program.

Our degree programs are self-paced. The amount of time you spend on coursework is up to you, and the more hours you spend, the faster you can complete your course.
