Online learning at Everest will allow you to not only learn and
practice a subject which is integral to your educational objectives,
but will also offer you added flexibility and convenience for the
completion of the program while continuing to manage careers, family,
and home life.The courses are built and maintained on the
eCollege platform which is media intensive and has highly effective
pedagogical and course authoring tools. All instructors are required
to complete an intensive teacher-training course, which prepares
them to teach and/or create a course following specific course construction
guidelines.
Online Degree Advantages
Everest serves primarily adult students. Many of these students
are "paying their own way" and have concurrently managed
careers, family, and personal lives. These students expect to actively
participate and be more self-directed in their education. Online
learning allows them not only to learn and practice a subject which
is integral to their educational objectives, but offers them added
flexibility and convenience for the completion of their program
while continuing to manage careers, family, and home life.
Where in the past students may have had to "drop out"
when employment, travel, family emergencies, or other personal demands
interfered, online learning can allow them to continue their program
without interruption.

Everest employs academically and experientially credentialed faculty
who oversee the instruction, evaluation, and grading requirements.

members oversee the cyber classroom, control course delivery and
the evaluation and grading of students.
