“Online Learning” Doesn’t Have To Mean Going It Alone

What do we mean when we say that Calbright is a new kind of online college? We mean that we use a whole different approach to learning:  we’re fast, flexible, career focused, and handle things like grades and tests very differently. We’re on the cutting edge of what’s called “Competency Based Education”— a model that teaches you specific skills to succeed in specific industries.

But mostly we meant that you’re not alone.  

Most online colleges are places where you do it on your own. At Calbright, we use technology to bring us closer together. You may not meet people face-to-face in a classroom, but here you will have easier access to your teachers and other students than you do at a traditional institution, because we make sure to keep you connected. You will also have personal support staff who are available in and out of traditional business hours, in whatever format works best for you.

Calbright is dedicated to your career success, and you don’t have to do it alone. Take a look at this video explaining how Calbright supports everyone who enrolls, and you’ll see:  “When you join Cabright, you join a community of students, faculty, and staff who are here to support you on your journey.”
