Curriculum
Like our onsite program, but more flexible.
Like our onsite program, the distance pathway consists of 144 credit hours of coursework spread over a four-year period, which includes both classroom and experiential courses. The first three years include fall, January session, spring and summer semesters for a total of nine semesters, rather than six semesters in years P1-P3 as in the onsite program. This enables remote learners, some of whom are likely to be career-changers and working professionals, to have more flexibility and time to complete coursework during the early foundational years.
Most elements of the distance pathway are asynchronous as well, meaning students do not have to be online at the time of the class or session. Once weekly, students have an approximately 12-hour window in which they will need to either complete an exam or a live lab activity. They will be able to choose the time to complete the lab activity through a class sign up.
