The fully online MSPCI program has these additional benefits:
- Across the program, students build a broad, professional network that starts with classmates, instructors and guest speakers and reaches out to involve professionals from many different fields, as well as members of the MSPCI Advisory Board.
- Students have more freedom to choose when and where they do the coursework; regular assignments help to structure progress through the curriculum, and encourage the discipline of individual persistence and focus.
- The distance learning format includes multiple instructional tools to provide a varied and engaging learning environment. Learning resources include print materials, audio and video recordings, graphics, interactive elements, and a host of web-based resources, including online tools for discussion, debate and teamwork.
