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 utilizing both synchronous and
asynchronous instruction. Project–driven curricula are provided
through eCollege, a web-based learning environment which permits
access to course content-- from any location-- at times that fit the
busy schedules of adult students. This learning management platform
enables working professionals to easily communicate with faculty
members and fellow students. The University also offers residential
schedules on a limited basis.
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.
ACADEMIC YEAR
The academic year consists of two academic terms, or 32 weeks. The
course session in which a student starts a program of study determines
that student’s academic year.
