Program Format
Programs are delivered in residence, online* and a combination of the two called “blended.” All program formats are supported by online course materials, library resources and student services.
Faculty practitioners deliver the programs and use their real-world experiences to enhance the curriculum and make the classroom a more interactive environment.
Students begin their studies in cohorts in either the spring or fall and continue without breaks in the instruction to degree completion. Students register for all courses at the beginning of the program. Each is offered in succession therefore cohorts begin and end together. It is never necessary to worry whether a course is available or to wait another semester to complete a required course.
