Program Format
The program is offered in a traditional on-site format and innovative, synchronous online delivery, designed to maintain our commitment to a highly mentored, interactive learning experience. A week of in-person, on-site immersion is required at the beginning of each fall and spring semester. During immersion, students discuss trending professional topics, participate with faculty in innovative panels and other presentations, and present their research at Scholars’ Day (spring). Students also attend the first class of the semester that week; some then return to their distant homes and attend online synchronous classes for the remainder of the semester. Others, who live locally, have the option of attending class face-to-face, which increases the opportunity for socialization and peer support, or they may attend synchronously online.
