During the second year of studies, the curriculum consists of four nonresident (online) Core Courses; a nonresident (online) elective or writing project; and the two-week Second Resident Course, followed by graduation in July.

1.2.2 DEP courses employ techniques such as instructional commentary, directed readings, learning objects, video and audio recordings. DEP assessment methodologies include but are not limited to: written papers of various formats, ranging in length from 500 to 2000 words; research projects in the range of 5000-6000 words; asynchronous, online discussion forums where students produce individual or team submissions; online written examinations; exercises; and face-to-face, synchronous discussion, using both Blackboard Collaborate software and conducted in the seminar room during the two Resident Courses.
