Learning Online
Students enrolled in the Online Business Program are taught by the same outstanding faculty as UF’s on-campus business students. Live lectures on campus are delivered over the Internet via streaming audio and video, allowing students from all over Florida to feel like they’re a part of the university classroom. Students receive support from professors, teaching assistants, and academic advisors through e-mail, discussion boards, and chat rooms.
Although students can view lectures with a 56K modem, video motion is much smoother with higher speed connections such as those provided by DSL, cable, or satellite services.
