You can complete an entire degree online by taking synchronous and asynchronous web-based courses.

• Asynchronous courses are self-paced and do not meet formally. You will be provided access to a course website that includes videos of lectures, readings, and other course materials.
• Synchronous courses meet online weekly at a specific and repeated time, starting no earlier than 5:30 P.M. CT.

Online students are considered part-time students. This gives you the flexibility to choose the rate at which you complete courses. You only pay for the courses you enroll in. Many of our online graduate students are working professionals who do not live near Champaign, Illinois.
