Weber State University is a coeducational, publicly supported university that strives to use technology to make WSU courses, programs, and support services accessible to more students and faculty.

WSU establishes a standard of excellence for the delivery of online and technology-enhanced programs and courses. Students get the same education as those who study on-campus. Our skilled faculty deliver quality courses and programs. Students participate in a community of online learners, faculty, and support staff. WSU Online implements new technology in a responsible, progressive manner.

The University maximizes competitive, applicable, and accessible education for all individuals and programs. Its virtual branch campus on the Internet allows students with Internet access to take online courses as well as use online support services. Students can take advantage of the convenience of online courses with the support services that are essential to their success.

The main goal of the University is to provide a high quality educational experience and potentially increase student enrollments. We are now focusing on developing complete certificate and degree programs which can be offered effectively online.

Online courses, the University offers, are conducted almost entirely online. All courses must begin with the start of a regular semester, though they are not necessarily tied to dates within the semester. Paced courses which require students to complete course requirements by certain dates throughout the semester allow more opportunities for interaction.
