UMKC Northland offers:
Convenience
Coursework for graduate degrees and continuing professional education
programs can be completed entirely at UMKC Northland, located just south of the
Kansas City International Airport and easily accessible via I-29 or I-435. Several of the
graduate degree programs offered have a pre-set
schedule which allows students to see when the degree can be completed and which courses should be taken each semester.
(Check out the programs above). Enrollment and fee payments may be handled via the internet, and
textbooks may
be purchased online from the UMKC Bookstore.
Facilities
Students enjoy spacious, comfortable classrooms with state-of-the-art ILE
classroom technology. UMKC Northland's computer lab allows students to
complete coursework in a quiet environment
away from home.
Flexibility
During fall and winter semesters, classes meet late afternoons, evenings, and
weekends. In the summer, classes may be
more concentrated as they meet less often.
Graduate students may enroll in a district cohort program or take classes individually as needed.
A cohort is a group of 20-25 students which begins the program and progresses towards the degree together.
Future Growth
Plans are under way to add new graduate degrees and continuing professional education programs.
Partnerships have been formed with community representatives to develop new programs in response to the needs of business, industry, and local governments.
