The Learning Experience

This online graduate degree program permits you to take the required courses in the order that best suits your needs. You have the flexibility to get the degree you want without a strict timeline or schedule of completing the courses. Although this degree offers flexibility, it still requires the same amount of work and time as an on-campus program. It is recommended to spend nine to twelve hours per week on a three-credit course. This will vary depending on your learning and studying style.

Your interactions with the faculty and fellow students depends on the specific course, but online courses do provide you with online office hours, email contact information as well as discussion board postings.
