An Intuitive Online Experience
Through our easy-to-use online learning platform, you will view assignments and readings, watch recorded lectures, communicate with faculty and classmates, and track your progress throughout each course and the program.
The Best of Both Worlds: Live and Recorded Classes
As an online student, you will view recorded (asynchronous) lectures on your own schedule and participate in live (synchronous) classes with your cohort. This setup recognizes the need for flexibility while encouraging students to engage in more challenging and robust conversations in real time. If you cannot attend a live class for any reason, you can access a recording after the class ends.
Tap Into the Knowledge of Faculty and Classmates
Gain insightful feedback in a timely manner from your faculty—highly experienced law professors, attorneys and top human resource professionals—and engage in lively discussions with your peers—other HR professionals, business owners and executives.
You will communicate with faculty and peers through the following methods:
- Live classes
- Discussion boards
- Immersion Weekend
While you’ll complete 100 percent of your coursework online, we also require students to attend one Immersion Weekend on campus in New Orleans, giving you the chance to connect with faculty and classmates on a more personal level.
How to Succeed in Online Courses at Tulane Law School
Like any graduate program, success requires time management and focus. Here’s an approximate breakdown of what to expect each week along with tips for how to succeed in the program:
- Expect to devote between five and eight hours per week per course
- Make every effort to complete one module each week; it is hard to catch up if you fall behind
- Complete the three modules assigned to each live class prior to class in order to benefit from the discussion in that live class
- Turn in your assignments in a timely fashion
- Check your Tulane email account frequently; it is the only way in which instructors and administrators communicate with you
