Why Hybrid Learning?

By designing programs that combine in-person and online learning, Adrian is changing the traditional delivery model. Students still take the majority of their courses in person and participate in the fantastic on-campus experience we have delivered for hundreds of years. But, by offering a subset of courses online, we can provide students with the following:

  • Collaboration with leaders from Harvard to Google.
  • A portfolio of projects built with leading employers.
  • Preparation for an increasingly remote workforce.
  • Career guidance and feedback from actual hiring managers.

As the world moves more online, Adrian is committed to using the changing world to actually improve the college experience and ensure our graduates are more prepared than ever before.
