MU’s online master's courses are interactive and follow a semester schedule. This format means students start the course on a scheduled day, at which time online interactive discussions with instructors and classmates begin. Classes typically finish at the end of the 16-week semester. Some degree programs include courses that require on-campus visits periodically throughout the semester.
