Busy professionals face time and location constraints.
In order to better support these working professionals, we are making our software engineering masters degree programs, and most of the courses in these programs, available via distance learning. We continue to hold traditional class meetings in Atlanta and Macon. With course sections offered by distance learning, attendance at these class meetings is optional, thus accomodating the needs of professionals to learn at varying times and at varying locations. This is an established technique used at another of other reputable univesities for undergrduate and graduate education. You are in touch with the professor and the other students via email and web postings.
