ULM has been offering online programs for Adult Learners since 2003. We offer online programs (including one hybrid program) to earn a Bachelor's through Doctoral degree.  Our programs are 100% online, and range from 4 week, 8 week, or 16 week formats.  The information and material within the courses are consistent with the face to face equivalent, but delivered in an online setting.  Taking courses online offers flexibility for Adult Learners balancing life responsibilities and school work.
