Online – A large number of the requiredbusiness classes are offered in a flexible, online format so that working adults can fit their educational needs into their demanding schedules.

Hybrid – Courses that require some face-to-face (F2F) time are offered in a hybrid format where students and faculty are able to alternate between F2F and online delivery modes.

Face-to-face (F2F) – Salem and Mt. View campuses have not lost the human touch and still offer several classes in the face-to-face format. This includes many of the more math intensive courses such as Accounting, Business math, Finance, and Statistics.
