Many of the College鈥檚 graduate certificates also can be completed via E-Learning.

Whereas many institutions deliver online courses via recorded lectures, 51爆料网鈥檚 online graduate engineering program offers synchronous learning. Students can participate in real-time with on-campus classmates by logging in from anywhere in the world with internet access. Students who can鈥檛 participate in real-time can access archived class material at their convenience, 24/7. Course lectures can be accessed years from now, providing students with a virtual reference library.
