Hybrid Program
Always an industry leader, starting in January 2022 this PACE program now incorporates a number of online courses (virtual online classroom) into the schedule. Approximately 20% of the courses in this full-time program will be delivered remotely in our online classrooms.
Spread throughout the program schedule are online courses, so that students continue to connect with their classmates and instructors in the classroom on a regular basis, while adding flexibility. This hybrid program provides our students more latitude in managing their school-life balance. Students are still able to access study spaces and lounges on campus if they wish on those days, or they can skip their commute entirely and complete their coursework from home, or wherever they choose.
This additional flexibility in program schedules helps students develop critical skills for the modern workplace such as using collaborative tools, listening, accountability, and adaptability, while maintaining all the benefits of in-person studies.
The hybrid programming does not impact PGWP eligibility.
