Online Learning Provides Convenience and Flexibility

Balancing college with other responsibilities is challenging. That's why we offer many programs and degrees fully or partially online. Students can achieve educational success while meeting their personal and professional obligations. Online learning provides flexibility and convenience at the same tuition rate as face-to-face classes.

Students use state-of-the-art interactive web conferencing technologies and a course management system to interact with their instructor and classmates.

Teaching Modalities

A modality is a style of course delivery. Westmoreland offers several modalities that provide opportunities for both synchronous and asynchronous instruction. Faculty are encouraged to discuss the differences in instructional styles with their students.

Face-to-Face

Instruction is delivered live, in-person at one of Westmoreland’s campuses or centers. Courses meet synchronously in a face-to-face setting at a scheduled classroom location, date, and time.

The institution LMS may be needed to access some course materials.
