Frequently Asked Questions

See the chart above.

In-person Only

The most traditional mode of instruction is face-to-face. Courses occur in-person at an assigned location and a set meeting time.

Hybrid

Courses will occur both in-person and online to varying degrees:

  • Mostly in-person, some online – For courses that meet 3 days per week, 2 of those days will meet in-person and the remainder is online without any scheduled meeting time.
  • Mix of in-person and online – For courses that meet 2 days per week, 1 of those days will meet in-person and the remainder is online without any scheduled meeting time.
  • Mostly online, some in-person – For courses that meet 3 days per week, 1 of those days will meet in-person and the remainder is online without any scheduled meeting time.

Online only

Courses will occur fully online and can be either scheduled at a set time, no set time, or some set time:

  • Online only, at set time – Course is fully online at the scheduled meeting time.
  • Online only, no set time – Course is fully online without any scheduled meeting times.
  • Online only, some set time – Course is fully online meeting one day at the scheduled meeting time, and the remainder is available online without a scheduled meeting time.

To be arranged

Some courses like Independent Study or Thesis will be arranged between the faculty member and the student.

The class schedule is designed to offer students a flexible schedule. Not every course can be offered in every modality, and there’s no guarantee all classes for your degree program will be offered online. If taking all your classes online is a priority for you, contact your academic advisor to discuss your options.

Not necessarily. Students enrolled in courses with a face-to-face component (either fully in-person or hybrid) may or may not have access to all course content online, depending on how the instructor has designed their course.
