PROGRAMS BY MODE OF INSTRUCTION

At University Center our courses are delivered in various modes of instruction from in-person, hybrid, and online, taking into account different preferences from among today’s students.

Listed below are the various modalities in which our classes are delivered. More information specific to each program is listed on the universities’ personalized Program Guide page.

IN-PERSON ONLY CLASSES

In-person classes meet at the University Center of Lake County at the Grayslake campus. Please note that DePaul University offers the Master’s Entry to Nursing Practice Program at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in North Chicago. Additionally, Southern Illinois University Carbondale offers courses at the Great Lakes Naval Base.

HYBRID ONLY CLASSES

Hybrid classes are a combination of face-to-face and online class meetings. It is up to the program to determine how often and when each modality of instruction is offered.

ONLINE ONLY CLASSES

Fully online courses are delivered in either synchronous or asynchronous modalities. • Synchronous courses will meet virtually with a defined scheduled day, start and end time. • Asynchronous courses do not have a defined scheduled day, start, and end time. For asynchronous classes, students’ study at their own pace while support is provided by their professor throughout the program.

IN-PERSON, ONLINE AND/OR HYBRID CLASSES

Many of our programs are delivered through various combinations of in-person, hybrid, or online modalities of instruction. You can find more information on each program throughout this program guide.
