BGU's degree programs include courses fully online conducted primarily using a Learning Management platform as well as virtual weekly Zoom meetings. As a general rule, each course will be divided into the following format:
- A weekly journal of thoughts and learnings that the student is experiencing.
- Weekly discussion groups on topics appropriate to the syllabus as well as weekly Zoom meetings.
- Ongoing reading from both a list of required resources and a list of recommended readings. Many of the books are available digitally in the BGU library.
- A global city immersion with a focus on research.
- Individual advising and mentoring.
