Bachelor's and Master's Degrees
Our online classes are offered in five, eight-week academic sessions throughout the year – two during the fall, two during the spring and one during the summer. Using course-specific websites and a web portal called Desire2Learn, students are able to receive instruction, complete course objectives, and interact with their instructor and classmates in a 100% online environment.
Most of our online classes are split into four, two-week units. For each unit, students will have a brief lesson, reading assignments and a couple of writing exercises. The College of Liberal Studies’ online courses are considered “asynchronous,” meaning that while you may have deadlines for course assignments, you will never need to be online at the same time as your instructor and classmates.

The on-site option allows students to receive instruction in a traditional classroom setting through evening or weekend classes. Most on-site courses take place one night a week during each of our five, eight-week academic sessions offered throughout the year (two during the fall, two during the spring and one during the summer). This allows students to complete all major requirements for the Bachelor of Arts in Administrative Leadership degree (39 hours) in less than 18 months. The on-site option is currently offered at three locations in Oklahoma:
- OCCC – Thursday evenings
