What is the average amount of time an online student will need to spend on a course each week in order to be successful?
This will vary by student, depending on study habits, learning styles, and a variety of other personal factors that contribute to learning. Most students require 12-15 hours a week of study time that is creatively balanced between family, work, and travels throughout the day and weekends. EKU recommends that students prepare to spend three hours of preparation time outside of the classroom for each hour that they spend inside the classroom. This ratio is applicable to the online program as well.
