Beyond undergraduate online programs, SEU also offers dual enrollment, graduate programs, and face-to-face undergraduate programs to high-growth sites. Before considering these additions, we suggest analyzing your current program and staff to ensure you have the necessary structure and resources in place to support these additional programs options.
Once a site has reached a sustained enrollment level of 20-30 students, SEU will invest in state authorization for on-site instruction. Finding and credentialing adjunct instructors to teach at the site can take 6-8 weeks, so plan accordingly before you plan to launch live
classes at the site.
EARLY SPRING — This is the suggested time to request face-to-face courses for the following fall semester. The average time it takes to find and credential adjunct professors is 6-8 weeks. Plan requests accordingly.
It is recommended that your site has 20-30 students enrolled before offering face-to-face classes. It usually takes 20-30 students at a site to offer a particular course due to transfer hours and individual program course needs.
Adjunct professors are required to have obtained both a Master’s degree and 18 credit hours of graduate credit within the content area they are teaching.
Southeastern University partners with churches, nonprofits and business organizations to support their professional development. These professional development courses are perfect for non-degree seeking students who wish to expand their knowledge base.
High-growth sites have the option of offering dual enrollment to local high school students. Dual Enrollment is available in two deliveries: online and face-to-face.
Online: Site-based high school students may enroll in SEU online courses for dual-enrolled credit.
Face-to-Face: Sites that offer face-to-face classes may choose to offer high school students the opportunity to attend existing classes for dual-enrolled credit.
Please contact the Site Operations Team for more information about adding graduate programs at your site.
High school students must have the ability to attend site-based classes as they are scheduled at the site. A site may consider offering certain courses after regular school hours in order to accommodate dual enrollment students.
Sites must consider the number of “seats” they want taken up by dual-enrolled students in their face-to-face classes.
It is critical that high school students understand that they are not able to replace a high school required class with an SEU dual-enrolled class. SEU does not have the proper articulation agreements with out-of-state high schools for this to occur.
For example: a public high school student cannot opt out of their required senior English class at the high school by taking an SEU dual-enrolled English class. This could only occur if proper approval with their high school administration has been executed. The same student can still take SEU’s dual-enrolled English class for college credit. Students are also able to take any of the other classes offered at the site for dual-enrolled credit. In most cases, this on-site dual enrollment delivery works best for home school students or those who attend private, Christian schools (though it’s not limited to this option).
