learners to continue their educational goals without the physical restrictions of a traditional
classroom setting. Online class work is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Assignments
have a specific deadline, but the learner determines his/her own study schedule.

Microsoft Office 2003 or newer to submit all course work that is required (PowerPoint,
