Courses are taught employing a combination of didactic lecture, skills laboratory, and experiential or practical learning (i.e., simulation laboratory and clinical learning). The lecture, skills laboratory, simulation laboratory, and clinical hours for a course are identified on the syllabus. Skills Laboratory, Simulation Laboratory, and Clinical learning hours are scheduled differently from classroom (i.e., didactic lecture) hours and may vary throughout a program.
Students enrolled in all programs at the College have access to the College’s Learning Management System (LMS). On-ground didactic lecture classes are delivered by qualified instructors in a traditional residential classroom with appropriate learning resources such as textbooks and/or multimedia materials through Internet access and computer projection devices. Online lecture classes are delivered by qualified instructors via the College’s LMS.
Skills Laboratory and Simulation Laboratory classes typically constitute hands-on learning activities either led, guided, or supervised by an instructor, or performed by students in groups or individually. Such laboratory activities may take place in a dedicated laboratory or a regular classroom with the appropriate learning resources and/or equipment and tools.
Clinical learning typically takes place at a qualified clinical site and students perform tasks under the guidance of a site supervisor (i.e., preceptor, clinical scholar) and/or a clinical instructor.
The pre-licensure programs are delivered in a traditional on-ground or residential classroom environment with specific courses delivered in a blended or hybrid format (the incorporation of both traditional on-campus/residential and online elements). The post-licensure programs are delivered exclusively online via the College’s LMS. Selected post-licensure courses have a clinical practicum.
The mode of delivery for each program is identified on the program page. Students enrolled in any of the programs offered at the College require access to a computer, webcam, Internet connectivity, and software that meets the specifications described in the Student Information and Acknowledgement Form.
