Instruction Options:

The Interdisciplinary Studies Degree is offered in the following ways. Select an option below to learn more:
Students gather in a typical in class setting to learn at a specific time and place. Students may attend lecture discussion sessions, form independent study groups with peers, or interact with the instructor after class or during office hours. There are strict due dates for exams, assignments, and projects. The style of instruction is most often teacher-driven, in that the knowledgeable instructor lectures on the subject of their expertise. 
Online courses attempt to follow the same model as on-campus courses. Online offers synchronous online class sessions and question-and-answer sessions that serve as instructor office hours. Online courses allow students the flexibility to choose the time and place to learn that is most convenient for them. Although, online courses maintain strict due dates for exams, assignments, and projects just as the on-campus course model. The style of instruction in online programs is more user-driven. Depending on the course, students may experience varying levels of control over the place of learning and when they attend the class.
Independent Study correspondence courses are a flexible option for students working full-time or with other obligations. There is no set schedule for correspondence courses allowing students to complete assignments at any time of the day. This allows students to work at their own pace, with no set due dates for exams and assignents. Students can enroll in Independent Study courses at any time during the year and study where and when it is convenient.
