Students in this program earn their degrees by demonstrating their skills, knowledge, and understanding of important concepts through a series of carefully designed assessments based on the course materials found in your online course learning management system and e-Book. This course does not require synchronous class meetings. Material traditionally provided through in-class lectures is available through class notes and readings in this online course. Progress through your degree program is governed not by classes, but by satisfactory completion of the required assessments that demonstrate your mastery of the competencies.
