ONLINE COURSES AND SUPPORT

Online Courses

Online Campus courses are designed to be dynamic and supportive. With our frequent student and professor interaction, you may feel as though you’re a part of a physical classroom!

All class resources for online courses can be found on Southern Adventist University's Course Management System called eClass. Weekly student-professor meetings using the Adobe Connect web-communication system allow students and professors to interact in real time. For eClass system requirements, check here.

Recognized Technology Innovator

What Students Say

What Teachers Say

“The experience of teaching using distance video-conferencing was an exciting and inspiring endeavor. I was amazed at how connected I felt to the students. Discussions and activities were shared as if we were together in the same room. It does not take long to see that teaching using this type of technology has unlimited possibilities! I recommend it highly to both teachers and students.”
- Ginger O‘Neal, Health Methods & Bible Methods

“As a teacher, I gather energy from the students in my class. To my surprise, the energy level was still there! Those wonderful connections that make teaching so rewarding were still made, and I felt a sense of accomplishment at the end of the course. I think we must face the reality that distance learning fills a need, is here to stay, and can be highly effective.”
- Eugene Brewer, Differentiated Instruction

“Some have wondered whether 'the Southern experience' can occur in an online class. My answer is 'Yes!' For students who are off campus, an online class can give them a taste of education in a Christian context. Serious learning is taking place, students’ lives are being impacted, and I am blessed beyond measure!”
- Derek Morris, Life and Teachings of Jesus
