Benefits of Distance Learning
Prior to Loyola and Concord's unique collaboration, a health law education was generally only available to those attorneys and health care professionals who lived in large metropolitan areas. Today, you can study health law wherever and whenever you connect to the Internet, providing a learning environment that is surprisingly individualized.
Some benefits of distance-learning at Loyola are immediate and obvious:
- It's flexible. With the competing demands of work and family responsibilities, many cannot attend classroom-based programs requiring a fixed schedule and location. Loyola's virtual halls never close.
- It's convenient. You do not have to move, change employment, or even commute to take advantage of a Loyola health law education.
- It's ready when you are. Video lectures are accessible 24-7. Assignments are turned in and returned with in-depth feedback to the student's homepage within days. Student services are available at the click of a mouse.
Other benefits of Loyola's distance-learning law program may be less apparent:
- It's inspirational. Students have access to experts in the field and working health care professionals across the globe at the click of a mouse.
- It's nurturing. Students enrolled in distance-learning courses establish a personal bond with professors through regular emails and bond with each other in classrooms, chat rooms, on discussion boards, through instant messaging and email, and, for some, even through in-person study groups.
- It's performance-driven. Students are focused on their own assignments and achievements, not on those of students seated next to them, and they have the support to help them succeed.
- It's diverse. Loyola can attract students from all over the country and the world who have a wide variety of backgrounds and experience.
- It's engaging. Course content is demanding, while methodology is driven by an understanding of how adults learn most effectively.
