Distance Learning Supports Social Distancing  image

Suddenly the term “social distancing” has invaded our vocabulary and people are much more aware of their surroundings. They are seeking ways to maintain some normalcy in their day-to-day lives while keeping a safe distance from others. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in many universities shifting onsite classes to distance learning, including Ohio Christian University. 

Thankfully, Ohio Christian is experienced in this area having offered online classes for over a decade to adults and teens. Students have the option to enroll in Trailblazer Academy (College Credit Plus) or Adult Online, all great options for anyone wishing to further their education while social distancing.

With many local and state governments advising citizens to avoid close contact with others, Ohio Christian has the unique experience and options to provide distance learning for a wide variety of students. 

Distance learning at Ohio Christian University is for everyone, from everywhere: all you need is a computer and an internet connection!
