WKU Online offers flexible pathways to degree completion with nearly 100 fully-online degrees and certificates. Courses are delivered via Blackboard Ultra and are accessible on most internet-ready devices allowing students to learn anytime, anywhere.
WKU Online courses are available in two main formats:
- Web-Based: Over 1,600 of our online courses utilize a syllabus that follows the semester schedule providing a more traditionally-structured experience with guided interaction from faculty.
- On Demand: We deliver nearly 100 flexibly=paced, asynchronous courses that allow students to start any day of the year and complete coursework within 7 weeks to 9 months. These courses are ideal for independent learners seeking the maximum level of flexibility WKU Online can offer.
Last year, nearly 600 of our WKU faculty members taught online courses ensuring the same academic quality found on campus.
