MODULES
Note about modules: Any accredited college can offer modules, but it’s an issue of supply and demand. For that reason, we encourage you to contact a school directly to let them know you are interesting in taking a module at their location. If enough people call, they will recognize the demand and can decide whether to offer the module.
