    - The MSAI and SSES programs are entirely online at the present.

    - Their original, pre-pandemic design was to offer both in-person and online options each week, so they continue to be classified as hybrid.

    - The full-time MSSE programs have one virtual and two in-person classes each semester.

    - When there are in-person off-campus classes, off-campus locations are chosen for your commuting/parking convenience.

    - For the Hybrid status which affords these options, students do need to attend any in-person meetings during the program.

• Cost/Fees

    - For our one-course-at-a-time programs, you take two courses sequentially in Spring (January-March and March-May). The fourth course makes the total cost per year (10,800 for us) comparable to taking 3 courses on-campus ($9,426 for 2023-2024 school year), assuming one-course-at-a-time for the full-time professional.

    - Fall 2023 - Single degree: $900/unit = $2,700/course = $27,000/degree
    - Corporate degree: $1,100/unit = $3,300/course = $36,300/degree
    - No additional fees are required for non-residents. Textbooks are not included in program cost.
    - Costs are subject to change based on University-mandated fee increases.

    - Non-residents are required to pay an additional $396 per unit.
