Delivery format
Classes start in September and run for eight consecutive semesters. There are two types of courses that make up your program plan. Online courses offer you flexibility in your off-campus studies. Hybrid courses combine online study with in-class lectures and group discussions on the University campus in Toronto. You attend class two weekends per hybrid course: Friday evening (5 to 9 p.m.) and Saturday (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.).
Should you require assistance faculty, technical support and academic advising are readily available.
