Learning Environments

The graduate and undergraduate curricula are designed to prepare students for a successful career. Post University is organized into two major divisions – the Main Campus and Accelerated Degree Programs. The programs within American Sentinel College of Nursing & Health Science represent a subcategory of Accelerated Degree Programs within Post University. At the Main Campus, students attend classes as full-time students in two 16-week semesters (undergraduate) or six, 8-week terms (graduate). Students may live on campus or commute to campus for their classes.

Students in the Accelerated Degree Program take accelerated online courses scheduled in six, 8-week terms each year. Depending on the degree program they are pursuing, Accelerated Degree Program students have the option of fulfilling their course classes completely online or during evenings at Post University’s campus in Waterbury, CT.

Students in the programs at American Sentinel School of Nursing and Health Science must complete their courses completely online and do not have the option of completing courses at the regional site. Students within nursing programs may be subject to specific policies and requirements outside the requirement of Accelerated Degree Programs.
