METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
Asynchronous Online:
Classes meet online only with no specific day or time meeting requirements. Students are free to interact with the professor, students, and material in the timeframes of their choosing within each week of the semester. Courses are not self-paced, and weekly participation is expected. Lectures and coursework are online only.
Synchronous Online:
Classes meet online only with a specific day and time meeting requirement. Students are expected to attend live class meetings via the professor’s chosen web-conferencing software. Lectures and coursework are online only.
Hybrid:
Classes meet through a combination of in-person meetings at a specific day and time and asynchronous online class sessions.

Class lectures take place in-person, and are also broadcast live to a remote audience. Students are expected to attend lectures synchronously either in-person or online. Additional coursework may be delivered in asynchronous online format.
Restricted to graduate-level courses only.
