Flexible Learning courses are online, self-paced, open-enrollment credit courses. The course must be completed within 16 weeks of the enrollment date but with no set weekly deadlines. Flexible Learning courses allow students to work at their own pace.
Flexible Learning courses are offered online through the e-Learning management system called Canvas. The undergraduate courses offered are fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.
