Learning Options
One of the biggest advantages of the Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) program is its flexible learning options. Classes can be taken anytime and anywhere – in a traditional classroom setting at the beautiful CBU Memphis campus, or in non-traditional settings, which can be mixed and matched throughout the semester. Some of these include:
- Live lectures (required) — You can attend lectures on the main campus or watch them broadcasted from various locations worldwide.
- Student/faculty and/or student/student interaction — You can participate no matter where you are. Many faculty members arrange live meetings and “research rap sessions” periodically during the semester.
- Video — You can review any given classroom session whenever you need it, since live classroom sessions are recorded and stored on CBU’s dedicated servers.
- Online class — You can take an online class at any of the 100+ Christian Brothers (Lasallian) Colleges, or from another accredited institution. Consult with your program advisor for arrangements and transfers of credit toward your degree. You will have the same service and benefits as a student in the traditional classroom.
