Technical Requirements

Since the degree is delivered entirely online, students are expected to have a strong online presence. This includes Internet access and some PC-based tools. Students must have reliable access to the internet via both a web browser and email. It is recommended that students upgrade to the latest version of their preferred web browser.

A particular course may expect the student to use a VPN, Global Protect, to access a computer resource or ftp to move files across the Internet.

Students are expected to have access to Microsoft Office 2000 or higher.

Individual classes may have specific technical requirements. Those requirements will be listed in the course’s syllabus.


Refund Policies

The first $200 of tuition is non-refundable for all classes in the Online MS program as this covers the cost of books, materials, delivery of these materials, and administrative expenses. As a result, any refunds will be based upon the tuition paid minus $200. However, if a student drops a course prior to the start of the semester, and the textbook is returned, the $200 non-refundable fee will be reversed.
