You can choose from a variety of course formats with MTI, selecting the method that works best for your current schedule and needs. Some graduate students prefer the structure of instructor-led online courses with pre-determined start and end dates, as the weekly assignment deadlines can provide added motivation to stay on track. Others want the flexibility that comes with self-paced online courses, which offer additional leeway for completion and do not require work to be completed on a rigid schedule.
Other popular course delivery methods include distance/correspondence courses, which can be completed independently over an entire year if desired; onsite “field trip” courses; E-Adventure options; webinars/on-demand videos; or workshops and conferences for masters degree credit.
Regardless of what course format you choose, each MTI course will earn you three credits.
