Online courses allow you the flexibility of participating in graduate studies from your own location and on your own time if you have a computer and Internet access. Course formats are designed to foster interactive student involvement. Primary interaction takes place through asynchronous online discussions.

To participate in online courses, you will need

• a PC running Windows 98 or above and web browsing software  (Internet Explorer 5.5+, Netscape 6+, Firefox 1.0, or above)
  or
• a Macintosh running OSX 10.1 or above and Safari or Firefox web browser.

For either platform, you will need Internet access (ideally high-speed rather than dial-up) and the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software.
