The College of Communication and the Arts is considered a forerunner in the delivery of both courses and complete degrees via computer-mediated education. The College defines distance education as any learning outside the classroom mediated by the university. We have taken the obstacles of geographical distance and class schedules out of distance learning. We actively encourage students to experience distance learning and take a course delivered by distance. The Nature of Distance Education Mediated learning that occurs outside a classroom is becoming the educational hallmark of the new millennium.
Life is an ongoing educational experience.
Taking a graduate course by distance can be very convenient. There is no need to take a leave of absence from your full-time career. However, the large investment of time and the high degree of personal motivation and self-discipline must be considered. Students considering distance education must also assess their information environment available. Students must have access to a research library with a graduate collection in the field of communication, as well as other resources.
