Course Information
BOTH SECTIONS OF THIS COURSE ARE FULL
The online courses offered this spring each have two course levels. Students enrolled in the M.M.Ed program at VanderCook are eligible to enroll in online courses at the 500 level. Students not enrolled in the M.M.Ed program who wish to earn graduate credit as a MECA Continuing Education student should register at the 7000 level. The difference in credits earned and tuition cost is attributed to the difference in tuition rates for the M.M.Ed and MECA Continuing Education programs.
