About this Page

The Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies uses Populi as their learning management system. All online courses in Populi are designed a similar way to allow students to be comfortable on day one of their courses.  Designing courses in a similar way allows students to focus on learning the content in each class, not the layout.
