Sessions Instead of Semesters - Online or On Campus

Adult Degree Program students take courses in sessions versus the traditional 16-week semesters. There are 6 sessions per year, and each session is 8 weeks long. There are 2 sessions per 16-week semester, therefore, Adult Degree Program students can complete 12 credits per academic semester. Seton Hill also offers summer sessions. Students have the option to take classes on campus on Saturday through the 8-week format, or in the evening through the 16-week format.

Convenient Online Classes

Degree programs can now be completed fully online! Take courses and complete assignments when it is convenient for you. Connect online through discussion groups with fellow adult learners, faculty and experts in your field. We'll provide the software and support you need to make learning online easy. As an Adult Degree Program student you also have access to Seton Hill campus facilities and resources, so if you need face time with a faculty member - or want to attend lectures, courses or events on campus - you're welcome to do so.
