How study works
94 online programs, one way of learning
16 degrees and 78 technician certificates, from short two-term certificates to full associate, bachelor's and master's degrees. Courses are grouped into terms as a suggested order, but there's no cohort and no fixed schedule — instruction is fully online, and every course carries hands-on labs completed in a browser-based virtual workbench.
A week in the program
Lessons
Each course is fourteen short lessons with a knowledge check at the end. Work through them whenever you like — progress is saved as you go.
Virtual lab
You build and simulate the week's circuit, firmware or procedure in the browser workbench. The bench is graded on the measurements you produce, not a self-report.
Quizzes
Two quizzes per course cover the first and second half of the material, and you can retake them.
Final exam
A final exam over the whole course. Your grade is weighted from knowledge checks, the graded lab work, quizzes and the final.
The virtual lab
Your bench is in the browser
Every term unlocks a browser-based workbench with the instruments and components you need for that term's labs. Nothing ships; everything runs on your computer.
