Certificate vs Master of Arts

Two Great Program Options

In both programs, each course is offered online one evening per week for 12-14 consecutive weeks beginning in the last week of August for the fall semester. Students participate together in online discussions at the same time and night each week to optimize learning and allow for robust interaction between faculty and students.
