At PSR, our curriculum is available through distance education for students in most locations and programs.*
Distance education students at PSR attend most classes via Zoom during scheduled sessions. Classes integrate the in-person and distance education experience through technology that allows Zoom participants to see and participate in discussion with the on-campus classroom.
Please note that course times are always listed in Pacific Time.
*For more information about pending WSCUC approval for fully distance education option for this program, and the states and territories where online degree completion is not available please visit our apply page.

A Community Where All Can Thrive
PSR’s mission is to create a world where all can thrive and creating a strong community for our distance learners is at the heart of that mission. In addition to the classroom experience, we facilitate community among our on campus and distance learners through WhatsApp groups and our online community platform, The PSR Collective via Kwaray.
Our distance education community is further supported by our Community and Hybrid Learning Covenants which can be found on our Student Resources page.
