How Does Graduate Study Differ from Undergrad?

Graduate programs are designed to accommodate the schedules of working professionals, with many programs offering:

The option to complete classes 100% online or in a hybrid (part online, part in-person) format. While online courses offer maximum flexibility, a hybrid schedule gives you the valuable opportunity to connect with faculty and classmates in person.
An asynchronous format, so you can access course materials at whichever time works best for you.
Flexible degree completion timelines, allowing you to graduate at the pace that works for you. In several programs, you can graduate in as little as one year!
