Online classes give you the flexibility to access your course content when it is convenient for you. However, online classes aren't for everyone!  The Accounting Program at MATC offers a variety of class formats including traditional face-to-face, online and hybrid (blended).  Make sure to contact your Advisor for additional program questions.

What is Online Learning?
  • Internet-based - Courses are delivered through the use of  Internet-connected computers, course websites, and digital communication tools.  Course syllabi, content, activities, and assessments are accessed completely online.
  • Flexible - Course content is accessible at your convenience. There are no specific "classroom" meeting times. You will complete weekly activities and assessments according to designated due dates, but based around your schedule.
  • Interactive - You will use email, chat, discussion boards, and other online tools to communicate with your instructor and classmates.
  • Rigorous - Online learning is as rigorous as traditional learning in a course taught face-to-face.
