          How Online Degrees Work

         Participate in online "live Web classes" held at set times that are convenient for you, such as in the evenings and/or weekends. Class lectures, discussion, and collaboration are conducted in a very similar fashion to traditional on-campus classes.

         The summer after you complete all of your coursework, you will spend 2 weeks on the UND campus in Grand Forks for the cumulating experience of your master's degree program. As the only on-campus component of the program, the capstone experience integrates, extends and applies the knowledge you learned in previous online courses and readings.

          Tuition

         Regardless of where you live, you will pay in-state resident tuition for all online courses.
