We have two different modalities for the core courses. In odd-numbered years (2027, 2029, etc.) the core courses will be offered in an executive hybrid modality
with in-person classes two weekends during regular semesters. In even-numbered years (2028, 2030, etc.), the core courses will be offered in person on our Springfield
campus.
This degree plan includes the appropriate courses and credit requirements; however,
the sequence of courses may vary by cohort.
