FAQs

Can I work on courses at my own pace in this online program?

Yes. Most instruction happens asynchronously, allowing students to access course materials whenever they prefer. Some classes will be synchronous through virtual meetings, but schedules for these will be shared ahead of each term. This allows students to craft their schedules and manage most coursework independently.

Can Portland residents enroll in this online program?

Yes. Whether in Portland or nearby, students can join the online or in-person MScGH program. While the structured in-person program suits those who thrive in that setting, the online program offers flexibility. Students in the Portland metro area who are enrolled in the online program can also take in-person elective courses on campus if they prefer.

Is there a difference in tuition cost if I am a non-resident of Oregon?

No, as a private, non-state institution, tuition is the same for residents and non-residents.
