TYPES OF CLASSES AT MATC

MATC is committed to providing students with types of classes — formally called “instructional modalities” — that best meet their individual needs, while maintaining high quality standards in all courses.

An instructional modality reflects the way you attend the course such as attending in the classroom, fully online, or a combination of in-person and online for more flexibility. The instructional modalities identified on this page include definitions and other information you should be aware of when considering that type of course.

Please note the definition of synchronous and asynchronous learning as it is crucial to understanding each type:

Synchronous Online Delivery - Students participate in real time via videoconferencing (i.e., Blackboard Collaborate). Students attend at the same time as their instructor and classmates from their home or other location.

Asynchronous Online Delivery - Students participate at their own time and do not participate in real-time videoconferencing. Students have the flexibility to complete coursework within a set period of time, such as weekly.


Now is a great time to talk with an advisor or instructor!  Ask questions πŸ˜€
Make sure to setup your schedule for success.  It's OK to look at 8 week options - but balance with 16 week and also 8 week sessions that start later.
