Courses that are shared across campuses are offered in a variety of delivery formats including hybrid, online, and via video-conferencing. Campuses have Zoom rooms where instructors can teach residential students in the room with them, along with students from other campuses joining simultaneously online, either from their own device or from another classroom at a different campus. Shared courses provide the same robust curriculum, delivered in an engaging and interactive platform regardless of the instructional delivery mode.
