Yes. Â鶹´«Ã½ offers many programs that can be completed entirely online through UAGC and Â鶹´«Ã½ Online. Additional online educational opportunities vary by institution.

While both UAGC and Â鶹´«Ã½ Online offer 100% online education, their programs are designed differently to meet the needs of distinct student populations.

UAGC is a fully online public university without a physical campus with its own academic programs and faculty. UAGC is governed by the Â鶹´«Ã½ Board of Regents (ABOR) and is separately accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC). UAGC undergraduate programs offer frequent start dates throughout the year, with courses lasting 5 weeks each for undergraduate, and 6 weeks for master’s and doctoral courses. UAGC academic programs, faculty, and student body are all separate from those of the Â鶹´«Ã½.

By comparison, students enrolled in Â鶹´«Ã½ Online earn the same undergraduate and graduate degree as the Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s on-campus students. They go through the same educational curriculum and programs offered by the Â鶹´«Ã½ to its on-campus students, with instruction from the same professors. However, rather than following the traditional semester model applicable to on-campus students, Â鶹´«Ã½ Online students can enroll in courses at their own pace as they pursue a degree, since Â鶹´«Ã½ Online offers up to six start dates per year, with courses lasting 7.5 weeks each. Degrees awarded to Â鶹´«Ã½ Online students are the same as those awarded to the Â鶹´«Ã½ on-campus students. 

At Â鶹´«Ã½ Online, students can pursue over 200 undergraduate and graduate degrees and certificate programs as well as take individual courses. At UAGC, students can pursue over 50 associate, bachelor's, master's and doctoral programs, as well as take individual courses.

Student support services vary by institution and include resources designed to help online learners succeed.

Completion time varies by program and may vary based on course availability, transfer credits, student progression, and other individual circumstances.

College credits earned from approved accredited institutions will be reviewed and applied where possible. Prior to enrolling, you may request an unofficial transfer credit evaluation.
