It is entirely possible to complete your degree program without ever experiencing a course via distance education. It also is possible to complete your degree program without ever taking a class on campus. The option is yours.
Care is taken to alternate campus and TV offerings of all courses.
Students on campus tell us they frequently enroll in televised classes because they want to take a particular course at a particular time of day or during a specific semester. For televised courses, these students are encouraged to be in the studio classroom with the instructor during the class. The College serves a diverse student population with diverse needs. Many of our students have strong commitments to their families, their jobs, and their communities. They are grateful for the opportunity to achieve their goal of earning the MLIS degree via distance education, and our studies show that graduates who took the majority of their course work in that manner are more likely to be involved in professional association work, hold offices in professional associations, and have publications in the LIS literature.
