Exploring the Fundamentals of Online Learning
Robertson Online is a unique online campus that makes it possible to study more than 20 programs from the comfort of your home, while you maintain your work schedule and life.
As an online student you have access to the same support and tools as our on campus students have, but you study on a more flexible schedule that allows you to study from anywhere in the country and, in most cases, maintain your current life and work schedule without much interruption.
The admissions process for prospective students of Robertson Online can be handled completely over phone and email making the process from first contact with a student admissions advisor until your first day of school, as smooth and easy as possible. The requirements vary from between the program, but in many cases you can gain acceptance into the program of your choice without having to take any special classes or having prior academic credits other than high school. In many cases you can even be accepted without having completed highschool or a GED, contact one or our Student Admissions Advisors to learn more.
Our full diploma programs are delivered online through our Learning Management System called Brightspace.
