4 + 1 Master’s Programs course descriptions


During their senior year at Wheaton, students take two courses in residence that will count toward both their Wheaton bachelor’s degree and their Wheaton master’s degree. After graduation, students will take two master’s degree courses during the summer. These courses may be offered in person, online, or as a combination of both. In the fall semester, students will take two additional master’s degree courses. These courses are expected to be fully online and may be partially or fully asynchronous. During the spring semester, students will complete two more master’s degree courses. These courses will also be fully online and are expected to be mostly or entirely asynchronous.

The courses listed below include both graduate-level courses and undergraduate courses that must be completed before a student can be approved for admission into the 4+1 Master’s program.
