Can I enroll in the MIHP Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree online?
Yes, provided you comply with the minimum set requirements.
How does MIHP online nursing program work?
You generally complete the non-clinical portion of your course work via online classes. As you can imagine, there are no schools that allow you to fulfill your clinical requirements online, so the clinicals are usually arranged at a medical facility near your home.
How do online classes work?
An MIHP online class is hosted on its own website. Our instructors post lecture materials and assignments to this site, and a bulletin board or discussion forum is made available where students may post comments and questions. Our instructors shall designate specific time for an online chat session, but most of the time you may log in and work anytime you are available.
Assignments shall be emailed to the instructors, on designated due dates. As in many online classes, at MIHP some written course work takes the place of traditional examinations. However, some quizzes and the major examinations are being done online, at times they shall be proctored; MIHP shall also provide students with listings of suitable locations in their area where tests may be taken.
Do I ever have to come to campus?
Students from the provinces of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) shall be required to spend a few days every month on campus. However, those coming outside of ARMM shall be given a particular schedule.
Will I be able to complete classes / degrees at my own pace?
Online students from the provinces of ARMM shall be required to maintain the same semester schedule as on-campus students. MIHP online classes are structured around a series of assignments and examinations, much like traditional courses. Some subjects may be completed at an accelerated pace, however majority of the subjects are structured in such a way that they require a minimum of six to eight weeks to complete.
For students enrolled in the MIHP Accelerated BSN program, they have a more flexible class schedule but is given 18 – 24 months to finish the whole course.
Can I start any time?
For ARMM students, there is a designated start date.
For students enrolled in the MIHP Accelerated BSN program, they can start anytime within the first semester (June-September). Modules shall be given one at a time.
Will I work with an academic advisor?
Yes, you shall work closely with an academic advisor.
What are the benefits of online learning?
Many working nurses with family responsibilities cannot afford to work less while attending school. Though online education is no less demanding than traditional education, the option of learning online allows many nurses to earn an advanced degree at home, completing course work at their convenience. This saves on travel time, which is particularly useful for students living in rural areas that are not close to any nursing schools.
How do online and on-campus educational experiences differ?
Online course content is generally the same as that of traditional courses. Many prospective students worry that by taking courses online, they will not receive the benefit of personal interaction with their instructors and fellow classmates. However, although students who take courses online usually do not meet face-to-face with instructors and classmates, communication via email or online discussions often proves to be just as rewarding. Students who take courses online also often have the advantage of receiving instructors' lectures in written form.
