South University - Montgomery School Description

In 2003, South University’s Montgomery campus moved from downtown Montgomery, Alabama, into a new facility located on the east side of the city near Interstate 85. The two-story building includes computer and health professions labs, a library, comfortably outfitted classrooms, a student center and bookstore, as well as faculty and administrative offices.

The library at the Montgomery campus is located on the second floor of the building and is readily accessible to all students. Orientation sessions for faculty, staff, and students take place in the library. These sessions include training in search techniques for the Internet and proprietary databases, evaluation of materials and Web sites, and bibliographic citation.

The library is equipped with wireless Internet technology throughout and provides comfortable seating and quiet study space. A trained staff of librarians is on hand to offer reference and interlibrary loan service. Our collection includes books and periodicals (print and online), multimedia resources, and numerous online proprietary databases. Like all of the South University campus libraries, materials are housed in circulating, reference, and reserve material collections and are carefully selected to support our academic programs.

In addition to the traditional library setting, the Montgomery campus also has a modern computer lab with multiple workstations. Each workstation offers Internet access, online database services, an office suite, tutorials, and class support-software.

It's pretty much classified like the usual online schools such as Strayer, Walden, etc. http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/directory/brief/drglance_13039_brief.php US News didn't rank them, but lists their prices and student body numbers.
