As an online student, you will enjoy the many of the same University of Pittsburgh amenities and resources as students residing in Pittsburgh. You'll have access to an academic advisor, 24/7 technology support, the collections and services of the University Library System, and the Book Center.
Even though the program is asynchronous, you will have ample opportunities to interact with faculty and your peer students. Your classes will be provided online through Blackboard, a user-friendly learning platform. We provide a suite of collaborative tools such as discussion boards, blogs, chat sessions, virtual classrooms, and groups to ensure that you will experience a vibrant learning environment.
During your program of study, there will be on-campus sessions to provide faculty and students with an opportunity for face-to-face interactions.
