Course Structure
Multiple types of courses are available based on the student’s preferred method of learning.
Lectures
Both Online Live classes and In-Person classes take place during scheduled class time and require students to meet the attendance and participation requirements set by instructors. In-Person classes meet in person while Online Live classes meet on Zoom (i.e. in a synchronous format). Both formats utilize a mix of presentations and small group discussions where students learn to tie key foundational concepts to clinical practice and other real-world applications. Online Self-Paced classes are designed for students to study independently on their own schedule under the guidance of an instructor (i.e. in an asynchronous format). There are no attendance requirements in scheduled class sessions, but students must interact regularly with their instructor and meet assignment due dates to demonstrate their understanding of course content. Students can set up appointments to meet individually or in small groups with instructors as needed via Zoom.
Labs
Lab courses provide hands-on experiences that complement the lectures. Online labs simulate hands-on learning while reinforcing problem-solving skills required in healthcare settings. In In Person labs, students have access to dedicated lab resources at SCU’s campus, including chemistry, microbiology.
Student Support
Regardless of how students choose to learn, tutoring in any subject is available to fit student schedules. Students can also take advantage of exclusive SCU health sciences workshops, student events, and symposia offered by the University.
