Flexible Learning: HyFlex & Online Options

We know you may be balancing work, family, and life. That’s why all core cybersecurity courses are offered in fully online or HyFlex formats.

Your Schedule. Your Location. Your Degree.

What is HyFlex? It means you have total control over how you attend class on any given day. Mix and match these options based on what works for you:

  • In-Person: Join us on campus for traditional, face-to-face, hands-on learning.
  • Live Remote: Log in via Zoom and participate in class live from anywhere.
  • Asynchronous: Watch recorded lectures on your own time and complete coursework on the class’s weekly schedule.

We understand that many students working in technology want the in-person experience of working on real-world equipment, but we also know that some students need the flexibility of HyFlex learning due to work commitments or the challenges of coming to campus. The HyFlex option is built to meet these needs.
