Mission
The College of Online Learning (COL) exists to provide quality educational and development opportunities for adult and graduate students desiring to follow their calling in a faith-infused environment.
Undergraduate Programs
The COL programs are designed to provide the opportunity to attend college as a full-time student while still engaging in full-time employment. According to the recommendations by the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), the program is structured much like the 350+ online programs nationwide. Classes meet online in an accelerated format. The seminar-style classes allow adults to share how text theory applies to their current work environments.

- Associate of Arts in General Education
