How are classes conducted? What is the difference between an online and an on-campus course?
Westcliff University courses are taught in both an online and on-campus format. Campus courses are taught in a blended format with students attending classes one night a week on campus and participating in a synchronous live chat discussion with the professor online. Students are given the convenient option of attending classes entirely online from a distance or the option of meeting with the professor in person in the classroom while still finishing up all lesson activities online. This accommodates the busy schedule of many working adult students while providing them with the best of both worlds.
