How You’ll Learn – Online, the Fairfield Way

An Undiluted Online Learning Experience

Regardless of modality, we value the core tenets of holistic education.

That’s why coursework at Fairfield is different than what you’d expect of a typical online graduate program. Instead of anonymously working through discussion post forums with rote grading by a separate faculty, Fairfield online graduate students get a uniquely immersive learning experience.

As an online student, you’ll benefit from substantial engagement between faculty and students. You’ll develop real professional and academic relationships thanks to our emphasis on community. You’ll also receive extensive support while learning from courses and programs that place you at the forefront of your discipline, rather than a quick catch-up to the status quo.
