Curriculum

The Accelerated MPAS Manchester/Worcester Program is one program with two campuses (Manchester, NH – main campus; Worcester, MA – satellite campus), providing the same curriculum, learning management system, and student support services on each campus. As a fully in-person program, state-of-the-art synchronized distance education technology is utilized to deliver live didactic lectures simultaneously to students on both the Manchester and Worcester campuses. Live lecturer location is split equally by campus over the course of time in the program. Students are expected to attend lecture and lab in-person on their designated home campus. Methods of didactic curriculum delivery include traditional lectures, flipped classrooms, collaborative projects, asynchronous learning, and face-to-face lab skills training. The method of delivery is dependent on the course and material provided.
