FLEXIBLE EDUCATION
The goals and objectives of the University of Fairfax are attained through its flexible educational approach. At the University, students progress through their programs in groups or cohorts. The cohort model is designed to meet the unique needs of adult learners. Smaller groups provide opportunities for collaborative learning and support, as well as more personalized instruction and advising. In addition, all courses are delivered online, via the Pearson eCollege Learning Studio (more familiarly known as eCollege), utilizing both synchronous and asynchronous instruction. Project-driven courses may be accessed online from any location, at times which fit the busy schedules of adult students, thus providing working professionals the flexibility and convenience they need to easily communicate with faculty members and fellow students.
ACADEMIC TERM
The academic term is 16 weeks in length and consists of two eight-week course sessions. Course sessions begin on the first Sunday of January, March, May, July, September and November. The University of Fairfax offers continuous enrollment, whereby a student may begin a program of study in any course session.
