Bellevue University Online Academics:

Bellevue University Online offers liberal arts and vocation-focused programs year-round, with all-day online access. Students can take classes, discuss lessons and complete research, earning a degree at their leisure within a prescribed timeframe. The school ensures that students take courses with the same group they signed up with for continuity's sake. Bellevue paves a track to a degree in just over a year with its accelerated programs. The school has patented its Cyber-Active Learning approach in distance-learning to encourage participation and accurately monitor students' and teachers' input.

Bellevue University Online Accreditation:

Bellevue University has been accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, one of six US Department of Education-approved accrediting agencies.

Bellevue University Online Degrees and Programs:

Bellevue divides its online offerings into traditional and accelerated programs, offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees in an array of fields. The undergraduate curriculum heavily emphasizes accelerated programs. Some of the accelerated bachelor's degrees include advertising management, computer information systems in business, management of human resources, and marketing management. The graduate options consist of graduate degrees in traditionally paced business administration, computer information systems, management of information systems, and in accelerated pursuits of master's in healthcare administration, leadership, management, and security management.

Bellevue University Online Admissions:

Undergraduate candidates will need to have graduated from high school or the equivalent and submit a GED, school transcript or certification of home schooling. Transfers must have their previous institutions send transcripts. Graduate candidates must possess an undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited college or university, or a US equivalent degree from a national or internationally accredited college or university. Slightly more stringent standards apply to graduate students: a minimum 2.5 GPA from the most recent 60 credits of undergrad coursework. For a master's in healthcare administration, three years' work experience is required. Prospects for the executive MBA must submit an application, a resume that reflects five years of entrepreneurship, and letters of recommendation from senior executives or business contacts.

Bellevue University Online Costs:

The average credit hour costs $330 for undergraduates and $405 for graduate candidates. Students can also expect to pay a $45 fee per term. The eMBA program charges a flat tuition fee of $25,000 that includes books. Financial aid is available.

Interesting Fact:

Bellevue University was founded in 1966 with just three full-time instructors in a building that the school bought from International Telephone and Telegraphy.
