Have a Question?
If you are having trouble finding the information you need, we would love to connect with you!
Will my classes be online or on-campus?
Cornerstone College & Seminary recognizes the need for flexibility in higher education, which is why we offer both on-campus and online classes.
Students have the option to choose the format that works best for them based on their schedule, learning style, and location. On-campus classes provide a traditional classroom experience where students can interact face-to-face with professors and peers. Online classes, on the other hand, offer a more flexible approach to learning that allows for convenient scheduling and the ability to work from any location with internet access. Both types of classes are taught by highly qualified instructors who are committed to providing students with a quality education.
