Cyber/Web-Based Courses

Cyber courses are similar to traditional correspondence course, except they use the dynamic medium of the World Wide Web instead of the printed page to present the course. All course communication is by e-mail, including lesson submission and the instructor's response. This eliminates the delay in sending and receiving lessons via the United States Postal System. These courses are designed and delivered via the Internet. We use the Angel course delivery software for all our cyber courses. Students must have access to a computer with an Internet link, be able to use graphical Web browsers (such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer), and be able to communicate via e-mail.

For best result, students should use a major word-processing software program, such as WordPerfect or Microsoft Word, to do their lessons.

Courses are open to all interested persons, including full-time college students who may have scheduling problems or wish to accelerate their degree program as well as persons interested in earning university credit for a degree, for certificate renewal, for increasing career skills, or for personal interest and enjoyment. All courses offer three hours of undergraduate credit. Courses offered by the Department of Independent Study, whether in print or as a cyber course, are fully accredited through The University of Mississippi and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
