Flexible Ways to Learn
Brandman offers two learning formats that can work around your busy schedule; competency-based and course-based.
At Brandman University, we recognize that every student comes to us with a different set of circumstances. We’ve taken into account that educational needs, schedules, transportation requirements and budget constraints are factors that help determine where you earn or finish your degree.
Brandman prides itself in providing flexible learning formats that will work around your busy schedule. Here’s what to consider when choosing competency-based or course-based.
Online & Hybrid
(Course-Based Programs)
Choose to go completely online or attend classes in a hybrid/blended format at a campus nearby - our flexible class schedules are designed with you in mind.
- Offering undergraduate, graduate, credential and certificate programs across five schools in the areas of arts and sciences, business, education, nursing and health.
- Hybrid classes are held in the evening to accommodate the working student.
