CIEP Online Program
In addition to our hybrid In-Person courses, the CIEP is currently offering an Online Program of study as a result of COVID-19. Our online classes are synchronous and offered between 8:00am and 12:00pm CDT using the virtual video platform Zoom. CIEP Online courses follow the same dates of study as In-Person courses.

Benefits of Studying Online
The online program allows for a flexible course load. Classes will meet via the virtual video conference platform Zoom at the same time each day. However, since students will be studying from their homes, students will not have to take all three classes to maintain their Visa status here. They can take one, two, or all three of our classes based on their preference. Instructors will still be available for office hours and virtual assistance, similar to on-campus classes. Students will receive feedback from instructors regarding their learning, assignments, and exams during these virtual class times or via virtual office hours. Our online classes are more beneficial than other online programs because they are synchronous and interactive; students will receive live constructive and informative feedback from our staff who have been trained to deliver online instruction.
