Each course includes a lab component, where students apply their knowledge of the concepts learned by developing the lab skills by making observations, collecting and analyzing data through the use of a lab kit, or common household materials. Students engage in interactive web-based lessons and applications, and are assessed through quizzes, exams, labs, projects, discussions, and simulations.

Science courses in CTY Online Programs operate in several different formats, including asynchronous individually paced courses, where students move at their own pace, session-based courses that have a defined start and end time, LIVE courses, where students explore special topics of interest with other students who love learning together in a virtual and interactive environment, and Problem-Based (PBL) courses, where students work with their classmates to solve real-world issues in a virtual and interactive environment.

The Senior Program Manager will work with colleagues across programs and other parts of JHU and CTY to develop new concepts for courses, course improvements, research projects, etc. This is a leadership role that will be responsible for building and leading the Science team with specific focus on proactive professional and career development including identifying any curriculum gaps, seeking support to identify solutions.
