Courses for this program are 100% online: no campus visits are required. The program encourages students to include a practicum as part of the degree and culminates in an e-portfolio course in the final semester before graduation.
Course planner
Courses are entirely online with some synchronous meetings via Zoom. All required synchronous meetings are listed during registration. Courses are mostly semester-based and some use an eight-week format. Students typically take one or two classes each semester and finish the program in two to four years. Students who attend full-time typically finish in two years.
Non degree-seeking enrollment
Prior to acceptance into the program, you may enroll in up to 6 credit hours as a non degree-seeking (in some cases, post-baccalaureate) student. Enrollment does not guarantee acceptance. Learn more about non degree-seeking university student admissions.
