Synchronous programs (or live online) consist of live sessions where participants interact with faculty and each other in real time. Synchronous online programs create a collaborative learning environment where engagement is encouraged.
Asynchronous online programs allow participants to complete assignments and video lectures through a more flexible schedule, but they can feature scheduled live sessions. Every asynchronous program has deadlines for assignments and program completion that must be met.
These deadlines will be announced at the beginning of the program by the Faculty Director or on the learning platform (depending on the program). Please be sure to review the program sample schedule to ensure you understand the program's unique time commitment and scheduling.
