About Online Courses

Flexibility without compromise.

 

Whether you're balancing work, family, military service, or other commitments, CGS online courses are designed to meet you where you are. Learn from expert Pitt faculty in engaging online classes that offer the same academic quality as our campus courses—with the flexibility to study on your schedule.

LEARNING YOUR WAY

Every student's schedule looks different. That's why CGS offers multiple ways to learn online. Whether you want complete flexibility or enjoy scheduled interaction with instructors and classmates, there's an option that fits your goals.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Every CGS online course has its own personality, but you'll find familiar navigation, accessible materials, and clear expectations that make it easier to focus on learning—not figuring out where everything is.

YOU'RE STILL A PITT STUDENT

Taking classes online doesn't mean learning alone. You'll continue to have access to advising, library resources, tutoring, technical support, and the many services available to University of Pittsburgh students.

TECHNOLOGY SHOULDN'T BE A BARRIER

You don't need to be a technology expert to succeed online. We'll help you understand the tools you'll use, the technology you'll need, and where to find support if you ever run into problems.
