Distance Learning Programs
Our month-long distance learning courses immerse you in connecting with your deepest values and helping create a humane world. Each course includes:
- a course book
- a course booklet of exercises
- links to relevant resources
- access to the Online Commons for engaging with your fellow students and the course advisor(s)
- guidance and feedback from your course advisor(s), including phone mentoring, if desired
- a certificate of completion and/or Continuing Education Credits, if desired
Between the course assignments and the Online Commons, we estimate that the course will take an average of 5-8 hours per week.
