Course flexibility: Aspen’s course schedule is asynchronous meaning that you can take the classes any time of the day or night to fit your busy schedule. You may participate in online class discussions and everything is completed online except for papers and such where you will then upload them to the school. Most students take one or two courses at a time but you may take up to three courses at a time, if you wish. Proctored exams are required but you may take them at a facility closest to you and they only occur a couple of times a year.
