FAQs

Q: Where is the Southeastern Center located?

Q: What is a "cohort"?
A: A cohort is a group of students who follow the same schedule for the duration of their degree program.

Q: What does "hassle free" mean?
A: For many of our programs (with the exception of the Master of Science in Education & Master of Science in Professional Education, and the BSME & Project Management Certificate), we offer "hassle-free" degrees. This means that the cost of the program includes tuition, books, meals, and books. The same group of students (cohort) follows a set schedule and registers once for the entire program. Books are delivered to the student and they are fed during the class. Students pay online or by phone thereby avoiding lines at the Bursars office, and when they are ready to graduate, their cap and gown is delivered to class for commencement ceremonies.
