This means any school can do it if it knows how. This means that excellence and service are defining attributes for success. Traditional institutions with great name brands are belatedly getting into the game. The for-profit world is where the most aggressive distance education is occurring.

Technological change can destroy a business within months.
In order to reinvent the university it is essential to reevaluate, and possibly redefine, its purpose in the light of the possibilities technology opens up. Conspicuous among these possibilities are powerful teaching mechanisms and techniques that simply couldn t have existed without the technological tools now readily available. Magellan University has established teaching and learning processes with dedication to excellence as its only imperative. Our commitment to educational excellence guides our development, determines our choices, and dictates our administrative structure. As a teaching institution located exclusively online, Magellan is free to establish new traditions that replace the unwieldy bureaucracies, outworn customs, and expensive overhead encumbering site-based institutions.
