Designed for the career-focused professional
The online MSL program is interactive and flexible. Each course consists of a variety of experiences that include different types of learning activities. All courses use the Canvas Learning Management Platform. While most of the coursework is asynchronous, there are also opportunities for synchronous events.
The program is academically rigorous. At a minimum, we anticipate that you will dedicate 6 to 10 hours each week per course.
You can begin the program in fall or winter terms. Most students complete their degree in 24 months.
Our Director of Graduate Programs will work with you to develop a plan of work that fits your needs.
