Graduate & Professional Studies

Hyflex

All the convenience of online learning with the benefits of a real time classroom experience. Our campus is wired with cameras and microphones, so you can use standard video conferencing software to participate in learning and collaborating. See and hear your professors and your classmates, and they’ll see and hear you too.

“As a single, working mom with a very busy job, the Hyflex program offered me the flexibility to take the class while at home if there’s bad weather or my child is sick without missing a beat.”

Every week you can choose whether you want to come to campus or use HyFlex to attend class. We use an intuitive app for your assignments, resources, forums, and grades so you’ll always know where you are and what you need to do for class. All our reading is online as well, so you’ll never have to worry about paying for textbooks!

+1 Programs

Undergraduate students who know they’re going to need a master’s degree to advance their career are eligible to take select graduate courses during their senior year. That way you can earn your master’s with just one additional year of school and come out with a major competitive edge in the job market. All Nichols students are eligible, as are students from our Partner Schools.

The cost is just $23,500 for current Nichols College undergraduate students looking to continue their education uninterrupted.
