McWilliams offers both on-campus and online courses.

Students taking on-campus courses are required to attend classes in-person. Most on-campus courses also utilize a Canvas course shell for students to access content and submit assignments. We use a classroom lecture recording system which enables the storing and sharing of lecture recordings right in the Canvas courses. Students can review the lecture recordings just a few hours after the class.

Many on-campus courses require students to watch the pre-recorded lectures online before coming to the classroom. When the class meets, instead of having to listen to the instructor lecture, they engage in more interactive learning activities such as discussions, group projects or hands-on lab sessions.
Students enrolled in online courses can work on their coursework any time of the day, from the comfort of their own, personal space. But they are expected to log into the course and keep up with weekly assignments. Although online students don't meet their instructor or classmates on campus, there are multiple ways to communicate with each other, for example via email, online discussions, or teleconferencing systems.
