When choosing between learning models, consider which advantages best fit your learning style and work schedule.

Course-Based

Consider the course-based model if you want to:

  • Follow a structured program with a specific plan for completion.
  • Collaborate with peers and faculty members through online discussions and face-to-face residencies.

Self-Directed

Consider the self-directed model if you want to:

  • Conduct research independently while working closely with a faculty mentor and attending face-to-face residencies.
  • Focus on an area of interest you feel passionate about, transferring what you’ve learned to real-life situations and putting your new knowledge to work immediately.
