Balance School and Life with A-B Tech Online

Earn an Associate Degree or Certificate 100% Online

As more people struggle to balance the demands of work, family, and school, A-B Tech is expanding opportunities to earn fully online degrees and certificates under the A-B Tech Online banner.

A-B Tech Online Director Dr. Jason Fair said the college has recognized an increasing demand for online education, particularly during the pandemic. “We have a lot of students dealing with many life issues, and we’re living in an economy that is increasingly on demand and flexible where you can get almost anything you want packaged when you want and how you want it,” he said. “A-B Tech has had a more traditional educational model where we schedule classes and you have to come and take them when we offer them, but we’re now making it a priority to offer more flexible alternatives.”

While the college offers most academic classes through online or hybrid models, Fair said A-B Tech Online currently delivers fully online degrees, diplomas, and certificates in areas such as business, medical and office administration, medical coding, computer technologies, human services technology, and a variety of associate in arts transfer degrees.

“We have multiple pathways for transferring to four-year colleges and a variety of degrees, diplomas, and certificates that are available this spring,” Fair said. “In the future, we’re looking to expand access to online education wherever possible. We don’t want students to have to choose between work, childcare, and going to school. You can work full time, raise a family, and still get an education.”

The online degree and certificate programs have the same curriculum and requirements as traditional on-campus degree programs. All courses are taught by the college’s expert faculty, who have been trained to deliver quality online education. Some students may be required to come to campus for proctored exams. Students also have access to the college’s support systems and can come to campus for the physical academic support centers, libraries, advising services, and more.
