The Reading/Language Arts programs offer various options for course delivery: Face-to-Face, Hybrid, and Online.

The Reading/Language Arts programs offer traditional face-to-face class options where students meet for the majority of the semester face-to-face with the professor and other students on campus.

Upcoming courses taught face-to-face:
