Your life is busy, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your education ambition. Universite Franco-Americaine combines On-Campus Programs and Online Programs.
Every student has a different studying method, and many of them have jobs, families, and very busy schedules. You are probably reading this today as you wish to advance your career or academic competence with a new diploma that tells the world about your professional and academic skills. The answer is an online Bachelor’s degree or master’s degree from UFA. That’s the reason UFA offers a flexible online learning platform to accommodate your needs.
Studying online is similar to studying in a classroom. The real advantage lies in the possibility to study when it fits your own schedule, when it is more convenient to you.
Most of our online courses are asynchronous, that is to say students and professors don’t have to be online at the same time schedule. However, you have to work hard to respect deadlines and take exams.
You’ll have a personal account to access your course. Any individual course includes lessons or topics, assignments, quizzes or tests. Our online platform provides you a way to send your work for grading to the professor.
There are forums to discuss about your lessons with your classmates and the professor.
The professor can post a question to debate, and students will add their ideas or comments.
