The online M.A. in higher education/student personnel is a 36-semester-hour graduate program and is completed over a 26-month period with students pursuing the program on a part-time basis, completing the classes at a rate of two classes per semester/session. Students are admitted in the summer session as a cohort group and complete the curriculum in a lockstep sequence. The program employs alternative methods of delivering course content, including internet learning systems, audio/video conferencing, and an assortment of streaming media content. In addition to the online delivery of course work, there are two required on-campus residencies (at the beginning and near the end of the program) in Oxford in which students and faculty are able to interact.
