Convenience : Coursework accommodates students' schedules, plus commuting time is decreased.

Interaction - Hybrid instructors report increased interaction and contact among students and between the instructor and the students. Discussion forums and live chats allow faculty and students to interact online and this provides for the continuation of face-to-face meetings and discussions begun in class.

Flexibility - Hybrid offers more flexibility for the non-traditional student who must juggle travel, family obligations, and work responsibilities. Also, instructors can accomplish certain learning objectives more successfully than in traditional courses because of the flexibility of the Hybrid model.

Increased Learning - Faculty almost universally report their students learn more in the Hybrid format than they do in the traditional classroom settings. Instructors report that students write better papers, perform better on exams, produce higher quality projects, and are capable of more meaningful discussions on course material.

Smaller Classes - Smaller, and thus, more engaging classes allow students to interact one-on-one with the professor and to get to know each other.

Competency - Acquiring competency in Informational Technology and learning how to work in virtual teams gives the student the ability to collaborate over a distance and manage projects in settings similar to that of workplaces today.

Availability - Professors are more readily available for assistance outside of the classroom.

Technical Support - An Online Learning Team is available for technical assistance through e-mail and online chat, 7 days a week (8am-midnight), with office hours M-F, 8am-8pm.

Advising - Hybrid students have exclusive access to an advisor assigned to students taking technology-mediated courses.

Feedback - Students have feedback opportunities through quizzes, tests, surveys and other methods of assessments.

IT Access - Hybrid students have priority access to IT-enabled classrooms.
