As a private, nonprofit institution dedicated to meeting students where they are and transform them into lifelong learners, Leighton provides a student‐centered education with a foundation of the liberal arts and the sciences while embracing a tradition of access, exceptional teaching, and commitment to student success that significantly contributes to the development of the region and beyond. Leighton University's entire online programs provide convenient opportunities for working adults to further their education without disrupting work and family commitments.
Leighton University's online program offerings allow students to earn associates and full degrees, including the Education degree at the graduate level, update their skills as they accelerate the completion of degree programs without the inconvenience and expense of commuting to class. Our online programs' design responds to today's information-intense, knowledge-based society while reaching a sizeable under-served adult student population that needs or wants the flexibility of completing a degree without having to attend traditional classroom sessions. Students can apply, register, attend class, and interact with their professors and fellow students without ever setting foot on a brick-and-mortar campus to meet that need.
