This program offers several delivery methods: online group and online individual. In online group courses, students progress together as a group through each semester-based course. Online individual courses may be offered in a time frame comparable to a traditional semester schedule, with fixed start and end dates.
The courses are taught by Penn State faculty using a combination of Web and e-mail resources as the delivery method. Applications are now being accepted for the certificate of writing social commentary. Upon successful completion of the program, a Certificate of Academic Accomplishment is awarded.
