Short Sessions Instead of Semesters 

Online bachelor's and certificate students take courses in sessions that last 8 weeks. There are 6 sessions per year. 

Full-Time or Part-Time Flexible Enrollment

Most online bachelor's or certificate programs at Seton Hill offer you the option to enroll as either a part-time or full-time student. If you want to accelerate toward your goal, you can enroll full-time and take 2 classes in every 8-week session. If you want to take it slow, you can enroll as a part-time student and only take 1 course per session. You also have the flexibility to change your status every semester; so you can take more courses when it fits your schedule, and fewer when you're busier. 

Convenient Online Classes + On-Campus Benefits

Online bachelor's degrees and certificates can be completed fully online. Take courses and complete assignments when it is convenient for you. Connect online through discussion groups with fellow students, faculty and experts in your field. We'll provide the software and support you need to make learning online easy. You will also have access to Seton Hill campus facilities and resources, so if you want to meet with a faculty member in person - or want to attend lectures, courses or events on campus - you're welcome to do so.
