This hybrid program offers a mix of real-time, interactive learning and flexible, self-paced study using a schedule that supports…

Synchronous Coursework: This includes scheduled, real-time classes or sessions that you attend in-person or virtually. These sessions happen at set times and allow for live interaction with instructors and peers.

Asynchronous Engagement: This involves learning activities or materials that you access and complete on your own schedule – though within a certain pre-scheduled time period. There are no set times for these activities, so you can work through them at your convenience.
