The program maintains most of the traditional requirements characteristic of advanced graduate study, but is unique in using the resources of a consortium of five universities linked together by alternative communication systems. These member universities have programs staffed by faculty having expertise in many areas of technology. Each university brings to the consortium a unique philosophical quality and extensive library holdings that add depth and quality to the program.
Alternative communication technology is used to deliver key components of the program such as a general technology core, linking campuses to better serve students. View Course Catalog. Deadline: January 31, View Scholarship.
