Online Learning
Go online anytime: 24 hours a day seven days a week.
Take individual courses or complete your Bachelor of Science in International Trade Management degree online from anywhere in the world with Internet access.
Our courses are offered on a semester basis. All classes are open to everyone worldwide who meet the specific course and/or program requirements. This is not a Self-Directed Study Program, Independent Study or Correspondence Course Program. Online courses are conducted much like on-ground courses; they are classroom oriented– although conducted in a virtual classroom. Like on-ground classes, there is interaction student to student and faculty to student; class discussions are a major part of the courses. The difference is that you are able to enter the virtual classroom any time of the day or night to participate in the discussions. There are group activities and assignments in which students participate, although again at each student’s own time schedule. Each course has an exact start-date and end-date, and assignments have due dates, just like a regular on-ground classroom. The main difference is everything is handled electronically through the virtual classroom. Students tell us they very quickly prefer the freedom and the ease of taking classes using this online model.
Is online learning right for me?
How Do Classes Work?
Students are required to participate in the Online virtual classroom discussion five out of seven days of the week. The student chooses which specific days to participate and the time when he or she wants to be active in the classroom. Again, the Online classroom is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. With students from all over the world enrolled, it seems that there is always someone in the classroom adding to the discussion in progress.
Logging into the classroom any hour five days-per-week, online learning eliminates the hassle of attending class at a set time and place, making your educational goals attainable on your schedule. Unlike some traditional on-ground education providers where students may be permitted to sit in the back of the classroom and allow others to interact with the instructor, every student in every class at DSU is required to take an active role in classroom activities and discussions.
