TOP 5 BENEFITS OF OUR FULLY ONLINE MODELCourse work and instruction are designed for online learning, and our instructors only teach online classes.

Because technology is at the forefront of everything we do, we regularly adopt new technologies that advance our online learning environment.

Our courses bring together students who may live across town or on the other side of the globe, providing a diversity of perspectives to enrich each student’s learning journey.

All resources are focused on supporting online students, including our career counseling, academic advising, and technology support team.

Our faculty members are experts in online teaching and can focus all their time, energy and creativity on meeting the needs of our online students.

WHAT DOES 100% ONLINE LEARNING REALLY MEAN? Never be late to class.You can earn your degree or certificate from San José State University without ever visiting the Silicon Valley campus. There are no on-campus orientations or other required in-person events.

You can be the tortoise…or the hare.Begin your online study program when it’s most convenient for you. You can apply for admission in the fall or spring semester and complete the program at your own pace.

Choose a workload that works for you.You can attend as a full-time or part-time student, choosing the number of courses you want to take each semester, so you can fit course work around your work schedule and family life.

Complete an internship from home.We offer both on-site and virtual internships at information centers and high-tech companies located across the country.

We’ve got your back.We provide the resources you need for success in our programs, including academic advising, faculty office hours, library resources, career counseling, technical support and more—all available conveniently online.

Online doesn’t mean you’re alone.In our engaging and interactive online environment, instructors and students exchange ideas via live web conferences, recorded audio and video lectures, screencasts, emails, discussion forums, blogs, instant messaging and social networks. The multimedia format enlivens the learning experience while introducing students to the same types of tools they’ll use in their future careers. You can also participate in virtual networking events, workshops and conferences through our school’s award-winning professional association student chapters.
