What format are your courses offered in?  

Courses are offered in a variety of formats to include hybrid, online, remote, and traditional.   

Hybrid courses combine on-campus classroom instruction with online learning components. 

Traditional face-to-face instruction is reduced but not eliminated. Internet access is required for the online course activities.  

Remote courses are ideal for those wishing to "meet" traditionally without having to physically be on campus. These courses are scheduled same as traditional classes with a specified times and dates but meet remotely.

Due to the hands-on nature of the curriculum, the WQM courses meet in person when possible.
