The MHPE Online option allows students to participate in the MHPE program using a computer and an Internet connection.  Course schedules, assignments and readings are published on the web.  Students carry out individual and group activities, and present their ideas in online discussions.

All core courses and a wide selection of electives will be offered over the Web allowing students to complete all of their coursework online.  Students participate in a regular schedule of weekly activities and discussions throughout their courses, which take 15 weeks to complete.  A group or individual project is usually required to complete each course.

In July of each year during which a student has taken a course, he or she is required to attend the annual five-day conference held on campus.  This event provides an opportunity for face-to-face contact with faculty and fellow students.  Students share research, experiences and ideas in poster sessions, symposia, and informal receptions.
