Frequently Asked Questions

Does the online format provide the same quality education as a traditional format?

Yes. Numerous studies have proven that distance learners perform as well or better than their on-campus counterparts. The No Significant Difference Phenomenon (2001, IDECC, fifth edition), by Thomas L. Russell, cites 355 research reports, papers, and summaries dating back to 1928 that found no significant difference between distance learning and in-class learning. Where a difference was identified, it generally favored the distance-learning student. Visit the book’s companion website http://www.nosignificantdifference.org for additional information.

Will my diploma specify "online" degree?

No. You will receive an official, traditional diploma from Post University. Both your diploma and university transcript will be exactly the same kind as those of students who earn their degrees on campus.

Do you offer the same curricula and degrees as on campus?

In many cases. Some classes we offer on campus are not available online, and some classes are only available online and not on campus, but the same academic standards apply in both environments. Our online programs are typically taught by the same professors who teach on campus—most often faculty members of Post University—with Ph.D. degrees and real-world expertise in the subjects they teach. There is no distinction between on-campus and online students. See individual degree programs for more information.

How long is the program?

Post University Online offers eight-week accelerated terms six times per year. Typically, students take two courses per term. Depending on the number of credits being transferred, and on how many courses taken per term, a bachelor’s degree can be completed in two to three years. Our graduate programs can typically be completed in a year to 18 months. For associate degrees and professional certificates, and depending on the number credits being transferred, these programs can be completed in a year to 18 months.

How many credits and courses can I take within each eight-week term?

If you are considering enrolling in more than two courses at one time, we strongly encourage you to discuss this with one of our academic success counselors.
