Concerned that online courses won’t provide you with personal attention?
In 2023, U.S. News and World Report ranked our online graduate programs top 6% in the nation for our superior student services, technology and engagement. Course assignments incorporate multiple digital platforms, allowing students to engage with faculty and classmates as they develop successful strategies for their classrooms.
The main advantage of the online program was that I could complete it on my own time and schedule. Even though we didn’t meet face-to-face, I still forged strong relationships with my professors and fellow students through video discussions, email, discussion boards and more. The professors were readily available when you needed them. This program improved my practice significantly. I started working with kindergarten students, using numerous strategies from my courses to help these young students develop early literacy skills.
