Virtual Placement
Placement within a 100% virtual program is not for everyone. In fact, it is a rare student who has the necessary skills and structure to find true academic success within the virtual setting. With that said, for reasons as diverse as our students, several individuals each year explore this opportunity as a way to fulfill their gradation requirements.
