Your Degree. Your Experience.

Your master’s program is more than a degree, it’s an experience on which you will build your entire career. Syracuse University’s online master’s programs are designed with you, the student, in mind.

Our programs are developed based on research about how online students actually learn best and how to ensure success in a digital environment. All programs are built around a framework that includes:

Online Coursework

Instead of traditional lectures, you complete your coursework in between live class sessions. All coursework is designed by Syracuse University faculty.

Live Classes That Promote Collaboration

You will attend small and intimate live classes that encourage you to debate topics and discuss current trends and concepts with classmates and faculty.

Application of Skills in Real Time

If you’re taking classes while you continue to work, you can directly apply new skills gained in the classroom to your job in real time and increase your impact at your organization.
