Flex: Online Undergraduate Program
Chaminade offers students a flexible and more affordable online program to earn their degree. There are no set class meeting times, so students can learn when it is most convenient for their schedule. Flex students have 24/7 access to their online courses, so it is a flexible and accommodating model that supports students in achieving their goals.
The Chaminade Flex Program is offered in 10-week or 15-week models, depending on the student's major. Flex Accelerated follows a 10-week schedule to optimize student success with structured flexibility. Flex Education follows a 15-week schedule to align with the Department of Education's calendar.
In both models, students have access to a dedicated professional academic advisor and faculty and will experience success checkpoints throughout their coursework. With small class sizes and program flexibility, ample opportunities exist to engage with faculty and receive individual attention.
