Addressing the Needs of Military and Civilian Adult Students

Abstract

(Abstract)Saint Leo University is truly attuned to the needs of Adult students. Many combine traditional classes meeting two evenings per week with the online classes, thus allowing them to pursue a degree full time without jeopardizing careers and family. The eight-week terms allow military and civilian students to craft an education plan that fits into deployment, training, and work schedules. Saint Leo Faculty members are acutely aware of the problems associated with a fluid schedule, and work with students to complete coursework without any compromise of academic quality.Enrollment in each of the accelerated eight-week terms offered six times per year can reach 10,000, including over 200 courses offered online. The Online MBA Graduate Degree program also uses the eight-week format, offering six terms per academic year, and utilizes streaming video lectures. Additionally, Master’s coursework in Education, Criminal Justice, Social Work, and Theology is offered online
