All applicants for employment must have a valid, current US work authorization that does not now or in the future require sponsorship of a visa for employment authorization in the United States and with Instructional Connections (i.e., H1-B visa, F-1 visa (OPT), TN visa, or any other non-immigrant status).

The majority of the programs and courses we support are at the graduate level and have been developed for the adult (25+) working professional population. These programs are fully online and usually accelerated, with courses 5-9 weeks in length.
