Continuous Learning

Here are some ways to take control of your education in a supportive, online environment:

• Enroll in free and low-cost open learning courses
• Get introduced to learning outcomes that are aligned to some instructor-led courses
• Explore Purdue Global credit opportunities aligned to specific open learning courses

How Are Traditional and Open Courses Different?

In a traditional Purdue Global course, learning and assessment happen concurrently in the instructor-led classroom. Through the open course model:

• The learning and assessment components are separated to broaden the potential value of the learning itself.
• You can learn about subjects that interest you and decide later whether you wish to be assessed for that learning.

Open learning is offered in an array of academic topics so that you can learn at your own pace, explore ideas that interest you, and get a head start on subjects relevant to your program at Purdue Global.

Available courses include areas such as:

• Business and management
• Education
• Criminal justice and public safety
• Multidisciplinary and professional studies
• General education
• Health sciences
