Program Format
The online program provides an entirely online and primarily asynchronous setting
for non-traditional students who are self-motivated and wish to complete their degree
with the utmost flexibility in scheduling.
Courses in the Online program are delivered electronically through the University's
Learning Management System. Students in the Online program complete all of their
coursework entirely online. Each fully online course is primarily, although not entirely,
asynchronous. Students may view lessons and complete assignments at the time of their
choosing within stated course deadlines, which typically follow a weekly rhythm.
Some fully online courses also require students to remotely attend several synchronous
virtual class sessions through designated technology. Generally for each 8-week course,
students can expect to attend a maximum of two or three of these live virtual meetings
on designated days and times, which are published in advance. Students commit to
these online meeting days and times during the course registration process.
