How does online study differ from on-campus study?
The major difference is your location. You do not have to travel to the campus, but may participate from your home or office, or while traveling. You do, however, have access to the same excellent UMass Boston faculty as do those who study on campus. UMass Boston courses are rigorous and require you to complete work by set deadlines. For the most part, you may participate at times that suit your schedule. However, each course requires two ungraded “synchronous” sessions, which contribute to building a learner community.
