Hybrid Program
This PACE program integrates online courses (virtual online classroom) into its schedule, offering a blend of in-person and remote learning opportunities. The number of online courses may vary depending on program needs and scheduling.
Online courses are strategically spread throughout the program, allowing students to maintain strong connections with their classmates and instructors in-person while benefiting from added flexibility. This hybrid format supports a balanced approach to learning, enabling students to manage their school-life commitments more effectively. On days with online classes, students can choose to access campus study spaces and lounges or skip their commute entirely, completing coursework from home or wherever suits them best.
This flexible approach helps students build essential modern workplace skills, such as collaboration using digital tools, accountability, adaptability, and effective communication, while still enjoying the advantages of in-person engagement and support.
