UIU CEP Hybrid or Online

[KittenEars]

I know the UIU CEP program is newer than others and not a lot of cohorts have been through it. I am vexxed between chosing which to do. I prefer face to face classes. The hybrid program spends 3-4 hours every other week in the classroom setting while the online program is strictly that.

Can anyone lend their expirence? How did you chose which you would do? I understand that some of the MCCCD campuses nursing schedules don't correlate well with the UIU hybrid program and now limit the hybrid students to Mesa, Scottsdale and, Glendale program only.

I am considering taking PSY230 w/ MCCCD in place of MAT220 w/ UIU for my beginning summer semster. Strictly because once you choose between hybrid or online with UIU you must remain in the specificed program.

For my personal needs, taking Stats ONLINE and in 8 WEEKS is a recipe for disaster. Therefore taking with MCCCD in person in the Spring would be better.

I am not interested in taking the hybrid program w. UIU. I would prefer to do online.... but that Stats would be an issue.

Anyhow, any insight is appreciated.

hi Union-Jack!

I have my app in at MCC right now and was planning to apply to UIU. I am finishing my last two co-req's (BIO 202 and 205) this semester. I REALLY hope I can start the UIU classes in the fall, that would be awesome!

I originally planned to take BIO 205 in person in the fall but when I saw that they didn't place people for UIU until the following February, I was stressed about missing an entire semester. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that taking BIO 205 online will be worth it in the end ; )

Hi Amber! Did you end up applying? Did you get in? I'm starting uiu in October and Mcc nursing in January!

Congrats Brittany! I am starting UIU next week!! I'm a bit nervous, but excited at the same time! Are you taking ID 301 in October? We may be taking that together. Who is your instructor?

Hi azsunshine!

Yes it will be in October! It's online though and I haven't signed up yet. I just met with the advisor yesterday! I'm nervous too! But ready to get it done!!

What nursing program are you in?

I am online as well. I opted to take an elective starting next week to get it out of the way. Hopefully UIU Learn is easy to maneuver. I will be attending PVCC in the spring and I cannot wait. I know it will be hard, but very worth it in the end! Good Luck!!

That is awesome! From what I have read it isn't too bad. I have read that critical thinking is very time consuming but that the rest is pretty easy as long as you do the work! Good luck! You will do awesome!
