The unique online learning environment enables our students and faculty to engage in a class setting that simulates a face-to-face classroom. Accelerated/4-Semester cohort students will attend the Monarch Lead Summer Institute on campus June 17-21, 2019. Five-semester cohort students are not required to attend campus during the program. Ph.D. students are required to come to campus approximately 1-3 times a semester for evening classes, while meeting most weeks via our live online learning classroom.
