Hybrid-Online Program Demo: See How it Works
"Online" doesn’t have to mean "complicated" or leave you feeling disconnected to classmates or faculty.
Hybrid-online students of ICM will have an experience that uses the best of technology and our acclaimed faculty to meet demanding schedules. Online students will be required to come to campus for two (2) complete courses in twelve (12) months. The remainder of the coursework is available online. Take a test drive of our interactive discussion and lecture format to get a feel for what studying online with ICM will be like.
Online master’s students will complete 24 of the 30 required hours of coursework online. Students will be required to attend classes at Lipscomb’s campus in Nashville only twice during the program, in September 2012, and again in January 2013. Questions about exact dates and times?
