Over the years the University has continuously invested in online programming and expanded Brandeis Online across schools. All Brandeis Online programs are developed using the best practices in online learning. Courses are 8-10-weeks long and follow a 100% asynchronous teaching model in the online learning environment, with no set days or times for interaction.
