Quality Education on Your Schedule 

As a full-time working professional, the online classes provided me a unique and priceless opportunity to study at will. Online education is a valuable resource at CSU. I can't tell you how thankful I am for it. - CSU online student

Is online education right for you? 

Online education isn’t for everyone, but for the right student the flexibility and convenience offered by taking online courses can be life changing.

Online courses and programs at Chicago State University (CSU) are designed for students who are able to take responsibility for their own learning, are comfortable using a computer and other necessary technologies, and are able to communicate effectively through writing. To be successful, students need reliable access to a computer and the internet and must be able to log into their online course at least two to three times per week and actively participate in class.
