Learning Modes
The CSU offers a variety of learning modes to accommodate different student needs and preferences. These include face-to-face, online, and hybrid (combining online and face-to-face) options. Within these broad categories, further distinctions exist, such as synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (flexible timing) online learning.
