Online program

The requirements for the online program are identical to those for the in-person program except in the following areas:

• Enroll in just two courses per term if you need to fit the program around a heavy work and family schedule.
• Take courses during the summer term so you will be able to complete the program in two calendar years.
• An additional three-credit elective serves as a substitute for the three credits given for the thesis or the seminar requirement in the non-thesis option.

*Domestic students and international students not residing in the U.S. are eligible for the online program.
