Students are give access to online forums where they interact with their instructors and fellow classmates. Course materials are available for download from the college website, and all interactions with classmates and instructors takes place online (although instructors are available by phone during office hours).
Reasons to Choose Axia's Online College Over a Traditional Program
- Convenience. Students may attend class from the comfort of their own home. No in-person attendance is required.
- Flexible Scheduling. Axia courses are nine weeks long, and classes begin on Mondays. If a student is unable to pick up a particular course section, he doesn’t have to wait until the next semester to do so. Classes are offered on a rolling basis depending on enrollment.
- Class enrollment is capped at twenty students. The instructor-to-student ratio is set at a reasonable level so instructors will be available to interact with each student individually. Students can expect one-on-one private feedback. (Class discussions occur in a public online forum, but assignments are submitted directly to the instructor in a separate private forum).
- Reasonable workloads. Although the curriculum is challenging and invigorating, students only take two courses at the same time, allowing them to devote ample time to each. Some students at traditional colleges may take as many as five courses at the same time. Also, many classes have an alternating schedule in which students are either reading and discussing material or working on assignments.
