How many hours per week do I need to devote to the online degree program?
It depends on the length, requirements, and workload of each course, as well as your own learning style. Each contact hour generally demands 3 hours of preparation, or off-line work. In some courses 4 hours preparation is considered normal. For a typical 8 or 9-week course, be prepared to invest 15-20 hours per course each week. Keep these figures in mind when planning your online program.
