Misericordia University excels in helping adult students, guiding them through credit transfer, financial aid, and credit for life experiences. For over ninety years, adult students have been reaching personal and professional goals by continuing their education with Misericordia.
Hybrid courses are a “brick and click" approach to attending college. It is a blended model of both in-class and online that combines face-to-face and virtual participation for the students. Two or three of the class meetings will be held “on-ground" while the rest will take place in "cyberspace" using the Blackboard online learning system. The advantage to this approach is that it allows you to become acquainted with online learning before committing to an online course. In essence, you can test-out the online format to determine if it is conducive to your style of learning. Most face-to-face non-traditional classes on- and off-campus use some component of Blackboard to enhance the student learning experience.
Fully-online courses offer a virtual approach. Students can attend classes at any time from anywhere in seven and a half and fifteen week formats. This approach also allows students more time to respond with much more depth and forethought than in a traditional face-to-face discussion where participants must analyze comments of others on the spot and formulate a response, or otherwise lose the chance to contribute to the discussion.
Whether you are taking courses in the traditional classroom or online, you will always feel at home with Misericordia. The same supportive environment and individualized attention that characterizes our on-campus experience is also embedded within Misericordia’s online programs. You can expect a different type of learning experience from an institution that knows the importance of student service. Misericordia and its instructors are committed to upholding these values along with the success of each student.
No matter where you are sitting, you will always have a good seat in the virtual classroom at Misericordia University.
