No - online is flexible, not easier. The coursework is the same. Online courses often demand more self-direction since you don't have weekly in-person check-ins. Read our honest self-check guide to see if online fits your study habits.

Plan for about 9-12 hours per week per 3-unit course (the same expectation as on-campus). That includes reading, watching lectures, discussions, and assignments. Heavier weeks happen during midterms and finals.

Many of our students do. Most online programs offer part-time options (1-2 courses per semester) so you can balance work and studies. Talk to an Online Campus advisor about pacing for your specific program.

For asynchronous courses, no - you log in on your schedule but must meet weekly deadlines. For courses with synchronous components (Zoom sessions), those have set meeting times listed in the course schedule.
