Hybrid Format & Curriculum

Courses are offered in a hybrid format — both online and in person — which accommodates students from diverse geographies and those with clinical or other full-time obligations. Approximately 20 percent of current master’s students reside outside of Illinois. See our Master’s Curriculum page for this year’s on-campus schedule.

Most course material is accessible remotely, while all students convene for in-person coursework once per quarter. During these on-campus periods, students participate in class sessions, engage with instructors and classmates and attend professional development activities.

Courses use technology and digital platforms to expand and enhance classroom instruction. HSOR faculty employ videoconferencing, lecture capture software and online applications to deliver instruction and connect with students.
