Online Learning | RN to BS

At St. Scholastica, online learning doesn't mean you're on your own.

We've offered online classes since 1995. Over the years, we've learned what works best, and how to provide our students with the support they need to be successful. Our professors are available to meet with students when needed and will work to provide additional guidance and support on an individual basis.

Our academic advisors understand the technology our students are using and are experienced in helping with all manner of academic and technology issues.

Advantages of an online education

  • Online access to class materials - All class materials, including discussions, videos, lectures, and readings are stored in one, easy-to-access location.  
  • Flexible scheduling - A virtual classroom means that you can study when and where it works best for you. You're not locked into a specific time, day and location.
  • Continuous improvement - Every time a class is taught online, we look closely at the curriculum and improve the content to ensure that every class is the best that it can be.
