Online Approach
The Online Platform
All classes are delivered asynchronously online through the University of Arizona's Desire 2 Learn (D2L) platform. Classes include video lectures and discussions to approximate an in-class session, as well as additional readings, videos, and other content to supplement the lectures. You are free to engage with the material at any time; it is available 24/7 to fit your schedule.
What it Means to be an Online Student
As a student at the University of Arizona, you will be a part of the Arizona Online campus and are entitled to all benefits of a Arizona Online student. This includes full access to library resources, participation in commencement, and more.
ISS diplomas read "M.A. in International Security Studies, School of Government and Public Policy, University of Arizona." They do not mention distance learning or online instruction.
