Busy? Go online!
You're busy, but you know graduate education will help you get ahead. With the University of Dayton's online course options, you can find the way to make it work.
Some experts call it asynchronous learning; you're part of the class discussion, but not sitting in the same classroom at the same time. Guided by a faculty of highly qualified and experienced educators, you meet online and share the learning experience with your instructor and classmates. With small class sizes and program flexibility, there are ample opportunities to engage with your instructor personally and receive the individual attention that you deserve.
We offer a variety of online degree and non-degree options!
