Hybrid Distance Education Programs

Hybrid programs are offered through a combination of online and on-campus instruction.

Hybrid master’s degrees require students complete the majority of their coursework online along with at least two on-campus summer research seminars.

The hybrid Master of Arts in Textile History/Quilt Studies program is offered through a combination of online and on-campus instruction. This program requires a spring semester of traditional on-campus courses totaling nine credit hours. Most students complete a non-thesis option with a professional internship; a thesis option (with permission) is occasionally pursued.
