Traditional Master's Degree Option

You can complete all course work online (asynchronous, meaning on your own time), seated (on campus) or a mix of both formats.

The program can be completed in about two years.

We also offer an accelerated master's program, in which 12 hours of graduate course work can be counted toward your bachelor's and master's degrees.
