The Master of Management, Risk and Analytics program can be completed fully online, providing flexibility for working professionals and busy schedules. Most courses are delivered asynchronously, allowing students to access coursework and complete assignments when it works best for them. Students seeking additional in-person engagement can also participate in optional hybrid courses with Saturday class sessions and global study abroad opportunities.
Asynchronous Online Courses
Most courses are asynchronous, allowing students to access recorded lectures and complete coursework on a flexible schedule.
Hybrid Courses Available
Students can enroll in select hybrid courses that hold in-person Saturday sessions in addition to weekly online sessions.
“I appreciate the flexibility offered with online courses and feel that course materials are delivered effectively. I love the ability to slow down and speed up recorded lectures and read the transcript when needed, and the professors are clearly passionate in their fields and willing to work around students’ schedules.”
