As a GEM student, we recognize your need for flexibility, whether you are overseas or at home. By offering GEM courses through our most flexible format, Virtual College, you get more freedom than you would with traditional online courses. Instead of following a set timeline, you can start anytime before the final six weeks of the semester, go at your own pace and set flexible due dates. Simply log in and complete assignments when it’s convenient for you - day or night, from anywhere in the world.
