ONLINE, IN-PERSON OR BOTH
Customized "Live Class" Course Delivery

The Wingate MAC Program is customized based on student preference with course delivery options including live-online, in-person and/or a combination of both.

MAC classes start at 6 p.m. on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday night. Each MAC class meets once per week during the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. Most classes are taught “live” by the instructor from the classroom with students present while being simultaneously broadcast live via Zoom/Canvas to students who are not physically present in the classroom.

Students may move in and out of the different delivery modes from class meeting to class meeting as best fits their needs. For example, a student may take part in a Wednesday night class in-person one night, and then take part in the same class the following Wednesday night online. Students do not have to choose a particular delivery mode in advance and may customize their MAC experience based on the delivery mode that best suits them from day to day.

The choice of live-online and/or in-person delivery provides maximum flexibility and convenience for students. Whether live-online or in-person, the Wingate MAC program is up close and personal with typical class sizes of 15-20 students where you will develop a professional network with fellow students and faculty with relationships for life.

Please note, when Wingate University operates under normal conditions, F1 visa international students are required to follow the in-person class requirements to maintain their student visa status. Please email international@wingate.edu for further information.
