  • Online Program Overview

    The credit hour requirements for a fully online M.S. degree are the same as that of the in-person M.S. program, though many lab-intensive courses are generally excluded from online delivery The main difference in programs is the unavailability of the Deep Orange option for online students. 

    Most courses will have online sections that are generally restricted to students admitted to the M.S. online program, provided there is sufficient enrollment in those sections.

    Switching between online and in-person sections of courses will require special coordination and should not be assumed possible in many cases. It depends on several factors, including enrollment, instructor availability, timing, etc.
