Asynchronous Online Format
The courses in the program are all offered asynchronous online. They run for about 6 weeks and are not taught in "real time", meaning students do not have to attend at a given time. You can log on at any time to take the course. However, there will be assignments that will be due at specific times.  Summer courses are only given in the asynchronous online format. Fall and spring classes may be given in both formats.

Absences/Makeups
