- Instead of professors lecturing at set times, setting due dates, requiring you to learn exclusively from their materials, or requiring you to be in a cohort, our PhD faculty have created coursework suited to your learning styles.
- You decide how to learn, whether that is through the lectures, textbooks, and other resources provided, or others you prefer. You decide when you will complete assignments and exams within our 7-week terms. And you decide how many courses you take per term.
- This maximizes flexibility to learn as a part of your busy work, family, and personal life, and lessens the need for expensive faculty input.
