Working professionals have busy schedules that can make it difficult to attain a higher level of education, whether the goal is personal fulfillment or career advancement. Wheelock College has the solution: Online degree programs that allow you to attend class on your own schedule, from the comfort of your own home.

In your search for an online degree program, we know you are faced with many options. Wheelock is distinguished as a source for online education by its nearly 125-year record of academic excellence, the thought leadership that continues to evolve from its bricks-and-mortar campus in Boston, and its focus on the college's mission: to improve the lives of children and families.

As an online degree student, you will receive an outstanding education that is as high in quality as that of our on-campus students—including the same faculty, coursework, curricular goals, and expectations—but you will be able to study at the times that work for your schedule.

Online Learning Technology

At Wheelock, we strive to make your online experience as seamless as possible. All of our online education courses use state-of-the-art online learning technology, which means you will have a consistent format in each of the classes you take. In your account, you will have access to everything you need, including your course syllabus, staff information, discussion boards, and information about how to access Wheelock support services (including financial aid, writing help, academic advising, disability services, and access to our extensive library—physically and online).
