More and more students are recognizing the benefits of online learning. Online degree offerings provide students with the flexibility of completing accredited programs from anywhere in the United States or around the world—wherever the Internet is available.
The AGS online program uses a class format similar in content and outcomes to the on-campus courses. Each course lasts five weeks (for undergraduate courses) or seven weeks (for graduate courses). Unlike our on-campus program, however, online students can participate in courses any time of day, any day of the week! Class time fits around you and your family’s schedule, and you can start (or finish) the program at any time. By taking one course at a time you don’t have to worry about managing assignments from multiple teachers at the same time.

The AGS online program uses Angel, a web-based management system that provides a collaboration point for students to find course content as well as interact with their professors and classmates through threaded discussions. Angel is used to share class material in text-based, PowerPoint, audio and streaming video form. Online students can conveniently submit and receive class assignments through drop boxes located in Angel.
Within Angel, you also have a unique opportunity to be part of an online community group where every student in a given major can communicate with other students in the program, regardless of whether or not they share the same classes. This means that you can seek advice from classmates who are further along in their schooling while you share your experiences with newer students.
At some point in their degree, AGS students may be required to take an online class. Because our online and on-campus classes have the same format, students have greater flexibility to ease those online courses into their academic plan. (Please note the difference between online and on-campus classes in class availability.)
