Online Programs
The Lynch School of Education and Human Development experience is defined by the principles of collaboration, cooperation, and commitment to holistic education. The online experience is no different. These three principles inform a robust set of learning tools that aid faculty, student, and administrator to support one another actively. Our online master’s programs were created for those who share our determination to build a more just world.
