You can now earn the
MATM or MAICS degree while remaining in your context. Your study can be primarily
online, with just three one-week sessions at a Fuller campus.* To take maximum
advantage of your online options, you would follow this plan:
- Each Hybrid+ Course
consists of nine weeks of online study plus one week of face-to-face study
at a campus
- When you come to a campus for that face-to-face
requirement, you will take two
courses during your one-week stay
With this plan you can complete the MATM or MAICS in three years. You may schedule your
Hybrid+ classes according to your needs: take them all in one year, or one each
year, or another combination—during the quarters that work best for you. Hybrid+ courses will be offered at four of Fuller's campuses: Pasadena, California Coast, Colorado, and Texas.
One sample schedule might look like this (your choices may differ):
YEAR 1:
| Fall Quarter | Winter Quarter | Spring Quarter | Summer Quarter |
| Online Course | Hybrid+ Course | Online Course | Online Course |
| Online Course | Hybrid+ Course | Online Course | Online Course |
YEAR 2:
| Fall Quarter | Winter Quarter | Spring Quarter | Summer Quarter |
| Hybrid+ Course | Online Course | Online Course | Practicum** |
| Hybrid+ Course | Online Course | Online Course | Practicum or Online** |
YEAR 3:
| Fall Quarter | Winter Quarter | Spring Quarter | Summer Quarter |
| Online Course | Online Course | Hybrid+ Course | Online Course |
| Online Course | Online Course | Hybrid+ Course | Online Course |
Each Hybrid+ class is nine weeks of online study plus one week of face-to-face class time on a campus. Two Hybrid+ classes are always scheduled together, so that the face-to-face portion is held on the same campus in the same week.
*Study plan WASC approved; pending
