Fulfillment of the program's learning objectives occurs through a combination of lectures, readings, online activities, discussion sessions, and peer and professional support systems.

Home Study: The majority of classroom-style lectures and demonstrations are delivered via multi-media presentations on the course Web site or on CD-ROMs. Students view the presentations according to the weekly schedule established by the Course Instructor posted on the course Web site. The Course Instructor also identifies course textbook(s), which students can conveniently order online. All course materials are delivered to your home or available online through the Internet.

Internet: The program uses the Internet to provide the highest quality and amount of peer/faculty interaction possible. All relevant course information is posted on the course Web site, a centralized interaction portal for students, faculty, and program administrators. It includes all course assignments and quizzes, allowing students to complete and submit them from the convenience of their homes or offices. Students also communicate with each other and the faculty using discussion forums, live online chat sessions, and e-mail.

Small Group Collaboration: A professional facilitator will mentor and guide small groups of students to build collaborative learning communities, complete learning activities, and participate in online discussions. The small-group environment allows the maximum interactivity and support for students as they learn and apply course content.

Workplace Applications: Working criminal justice professionals have many opportunities to practice their new knowledge and competencies in their own work settings. The student's workplace serves as a resource for assignments involving case study, policy analysis, and research.
