I go to school online. The classes are very interactive though the online forums in the classes. It is a great learning experience to go to school online. The professors are easy to get in touch with and ask questions.

Most of the classes I have taken at JSU has been wonderful! The instructors has been very helpful and it is in their best interest that their students is gettin an valuable education! I am currently working toward a degree in Exercise Science & Wellness in the Health, Physical Education, and Recreational department of JSU and I like it. The instructors are very helpful and informative when it comes to learning! So far my I have learned the importance of physical activity on people's lives! Class sizes varies depending on if your a freshman or junior but average class range I would say is around 20 to 30 people each in a class! At Jacksonville State University they have many degree programs to help develop people in the future! Jacksonville State is a great academic school and I advise any high school senior to consider JSU when selecting a college to attend!
