A new level of Independent Remote Learning
NEW COURSE OFFERINGS FOR FALL 2020 AND SPRING 2021
Looking for that certain course to make the most of your semester abroad? Why not explore our offerings of accredited independent study courses online! The Umbra Institute, in cooperation with the University of Mississippi iStudy center, now offers a wide variety of remote courses in disciplines you won’t find among our standard offerings. And, all remote courses follow precisely the Umbra academic calendar – start, end, midterms, and finals – so you complete all your courses – entirely during your semester at Umbra. One-on-one remote sessions with the professor provide a level of personalized learning and interaction not possible with traditional remote learning. Although you will follow a defined lesson plan in the syllabus, you will also be able to explore in detail your interests in the subject with expert instructors, all with the support and oversight for the highest degree of academic success.
iStudy courses are offered specifically to help students satisfy special curricular needs that would otherwise make it difficult, if not impossible, for them to study abroad for a full semester. Students may only take one iStudy online course as part of their full-time semester curriculum (14 – 16 credits) to ensure they still enjoy the fully immersive study abroad experience found only at Umbra.
Students enrolled in an iStudy course also work closely with the on-site iStudy program coordinator, with whom they will meet throughout the semester. The program coordinator monitors students’ progress, ensures milestones are reached, and schedules proctors for exams.
