Online Classes
The November 2008 ACSI Dayton Convention provided the setting for the first Cedarville University online graduate classes. CU graduate online classes are a hybrid of online and traditional. Students attend the first session with the professor and then complete the rest of the course online. This option combines the convenience of online courses with the strength of traditional classroom interaction.

Future online classes will be similar except that the initial session will be held on Cedarville's campus. Online classes provide the convenience of studying at home while saving costs by eliminating trips to the campus for traditional classes.
