"For me, the program blended perfectly the theoretical with the practical. The Program's professors stimulated high levels of lively thought provoking and creative asynchronous threaded message boards and chat room conversations which carried over into various group projects. I was surprised that the level of "classroom" discussion (with the ability to think, research, and commit conclusions and inquiries to writing)was significantly higher than any I had previously experienced in more traditional educational settings."
-Irven B. Penn, 2003 MIOP Graduate
