BCC as an institution is regionally accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). BCC has approval from the New York State Department of Education to offer programs in distance education (e.g., online) format. Additionally, we have filed all our online programs with MSCHE. Note that regional accreditors like MSCHE do not accredit programs. They accredit institutions.

BCC online degrees hold equivelent in value to face to face degrees and happily recognized and respected by employers.

Some courses are self-paced and some instructor-led. Both, instructor-lead courses and self-paced courses, involve substantive and regular interaction with the professor. Also, both courses have deadlines to submit assignments and or exams.

No, only Graduation the first Friday in June.

Yes, the Office of Institutional Research at Bronx Community College distributes end-of-semester course and instructor evaluations. Additionally, most professors ask for feedback and course evaluation from students throughout the semester, and or mid-semester, and or at the end of the semester.

Yes, the fully online programs are designed for adult learners, students with other life responsibilities, and anyone who may benefit from avoiding commuting time and needs flexibility with their schedule. However, it is important to discuss with your Academic Advisor and Program Director how much time the courses require, and consider how much time you have available to study, and plan accordingly.

Online courses at Bronx Community College, as well as all CUNY campuses, use Brightspace (starting Summer 2024) as a Learning Management System. Course information, professor information, schedule of classes, course content, assessments and exams, and everything else course related is posted in Brightspace. Additionally, each professor may use other platforms such as ePortfolios, Zoom, or others, which will be listed in the syllabus and in the course description so that you are aware of it before enrolling in the course.

Bronx Community College is not a fully online college. BCC has been established in 1957, and it has been offering all services and resources that most colleges offer. BCC started offering online degrees in 2023. Most services offered to in person students are offered to online students, except those that require to be physically on campus (e.g. sports, cafeteria, etc.)

Online learning involves the use of digital technologies, such as a Learning Management System, Zoom, eProtfolios, and others, to deliver educational content and facilitate interaction between professors and students.

Bronx Community College is not a fully online college, but it offers fully online programs. The fully online programs are designed for adult learners, working professional, and anyone who may benefit from avoiding commuting time and needs flexibility with their schedule. The design of all courses follows the guidelines provided by the Online Course Quality Review Rubric (OSCQR), used for online courses at CUNY and SUNY. These guidelines ensure that each course is accessible and that there is regular and substantive interaction.

A fully online program is an academic program for which all courses are delivered online, and all services (registration, advisement, etc.) are also available online. This allows students to participate and complete their studies without the need to attend on campus in person classes.

CUNY Online is a brand name that includes many Asynchronous Online Degree Programs within CUNY. However, each College Online Degree Program, and all its courses, is created, lead, and taught by professors within the College.

If you are well organized, self-motivated and have high level of time management skills online learning nmaybe a good option for you. If you don’t mind setting your schedule for learning and extremely comfortable with ncompleting assignments as well collaborating with professor and classmate fully online learning will be suitablenfor you. As with anything you have to weigh the pros and cons.

There are no limitations.

There are not. However, students attending BCC from another time zone may encounter scheduling challenges attending synchronous courses (these are courses that meet at a specific time). For example, a course that meets online at 4 PM in New York would meet in the middle of the night in Southeast Asia.

However, some BCC programs offer many of their courses in asynchronous format—that is, there is no specific time all students must meet. In programs like these, a time difference would be of little importance.
