While some courses are offered online, students admitted to the MSURP program are expected to attend face-to-face classes offered week nights on the main campus. The MSURP also incorporates community based projects into most courses. Group projects are intended to develop leadership abilities while also providing an opportunity to show students are capable of working as part of a team. Group projects promote important intellectual and social skills and help to prepare students for work in a world in which teamwork and collaboration are increasingly the norm.
