Program Details

The MIOP degree is a hybrid program that follows a small cohort model. Admission takes place in the late spring, and you will begin courses with your cohort in July. Summer courses (two weeks) are in person, allowing you to get to know your faculty, staff and peers. The relationships built during the summer help provide support for the virtual fall and spring courses. Both first- and second-year cohorts take virtual classes together, and these courses are conducted asynchronously with occasional options to attend synchronous class discussions.

K-State’s hybrid approach allows for networking and support while also offering flexibility for your busy professional and personal lives. The MIOP program boasts a 90% graduation rate.
