But Williams is not the right school to promote it.
Distance education is ideal for continuing professional education.
Many Williams alumni might be surprised at the extent to which it already exists in technical fields, especially engineering and computer science. For example, the University of Idaho offers comprehensive, fully accredited Master's degrees in several engineering disciplines through their distance education program. Such programs are beneficial, because they provide a practical means for working professionals to update their skills and credentials throughout their careers. However, Williams is not in a position to serve this market effectively, for the obvious reason that it offers no graduate or professional programs. Williams does have an excellent undergraduate program.
