Virtually everything you need in a dynamic learning environment

 
Court reporting and CART/captioning fields show high demand and growth for new employees. These fields rely on the latest technology, which you can start using in our online programs. The technological skills, along with the knowledge and skills garnered from your program of study, will be of great benefit for you during school and after you graduate.
 
Prince Institute offers several accreditation and degree programs exclusive to each of our campuses. Although you can take online courses from almost anywhere, you must align with one of the physical campuses, even if you never set foot onsite. Begin by exploring the campus Course Catalogs or calling one of our Admissions Representatives at (800) 430-0791 to learn more about the programs offered at each campus.
 
In addition to considering your fit with the types of programs offered online, you must also assess your ability to study online.
 
Successful online learners have the following traits:

• They are self-motivated
  • Self-motivated students have set goals, created plans to reach their goals, and continue to push themselves, even when they "don't feel like it". They keep their eye on the prize and use that goal as motivation to devote another hour or two to practicing and studying.
• They are good at managing their time
  • Online students must manage their own due dates and work schedules. Since they have the flexibility to create their own schedule, they must carefully account for the amount of time needed to devote to school and balance school with their other obligations. Online students must avoid procrastination. One method online students may use is to set goals for what they would like to accomplish during a study session; this helps keep them focused and motivated. It also helps the study session to be more effective and a worthwhile investment of the student's time.
• They are organized
  • Online students must manage their own schedules and course materials. Our successful students use calendars for short term and long term planning in order to keep themselves on track. They know what homework they need to complete for each class and when each homework item is due. Another organization strategy is to designate a work space to store school materials and do homework. This helps students stay organized and save time because they are not looking for their materials.
• They are tech-savvy
  • Online students have physical computers, software, and Internet connections that meet or exceed the minimum requirements described in the course catalog. They are comfortable using their technology, and they remain calm when their technology malfunctions. Our most successful students have the ability to engage in basic trouble-shooting.
• They are comfortable communicating electronically
  • Online students rely on electronic communications that may include email, blogs, journals, chat rooms, and phone conferencing. Successful online students are able to learn how to use these different tools, and they understand when to use which tool.
  • Online students know and abide by a set of electronic communication principles to help ensure clear conveyance of messages and avoid negative misunderstandings. These guidelines are sometimes referred to as "netiquette".
  • Additionally, online students reach out to instructors, classmates, and their school to ask for help.
• They are independent learners
  • Online students reap the benefit of progressing at their own pace through their weekly assignments. They can move onto learning new material when they are ready, and they can slow down to review material that is more challenging. They have the flexibility to delve more deeply into topics that interest them, and they actively interact with the learning materials. Online students experience less structure because they are not physically completing lessons in the classroom. Successful online students are those who can work well without close supervision.

 
If the above traits describe you, then a Prince Institute online program may be a good choice.
 
Even if you never attend classes onsite, you must align with one of our campuses.
