Gatlin programs blend various types of instruction in a unique format that provides a logical, comprehensive and effective education. The typical course combines online instructional content, traditional textbook material and instructor-facilitated lessons. Though the courses are self-paced, personal instructors are available to guide every student. This blended learning differentiates Cal State L.A. and Gatlin courses from ordinary online courses. Each course is open enrollment and takes an average of 90 days to complete.

It’s a viable tool right now as evidenced by the growing number of people utilizing it, and is the way of the future.”
