Now you can earn the benefits of one of the finest master's programs in education with no on-campus visits, and without sacrificing time at work or with family.
ONLINE LEARNING
There is no distinction between students who earn their Master of Science in Education on-campus or online from the University of New England. Regardless of the method of course delivery, the degree is exactly the same. Some may worry if they have the skills to complete an online degree, but for the most part, online learning is comparable to traditional on-campus education. Where they differ is in the delivery method, which allows online students more access to their courses so you can fit your studies into your schedule.
Similar to most on-campus programs, online courses will require students to utilize textbooks that will be part of the instruction for each course. But, instead of driving to the campus, anywhere you can access a computer and the Internet can become your classroom. All lectures are available on the course website. All class work (homework, writing assignments and exams) are completed and submitted online. Each week students can log in and view a weekly course syllabus to help maintain pace with class studies.
As an online student, you have the power to fit education into your calendar. Instead of going out to lunch, many students take their lunch at their computer to complete reading assignments. Students with children often wake up early or work late after their children are asleep to complete their school work.
While you will not have to visit the University of New England campus to complete your studies, as an online student you still have tremendous levels of support from the university. You will never be alone if you have any problems, just contact your Program Manager or Instructor for help and support. Many students who have finished the program actually feel they have more support in the online environment than they had in an on-campus program.
While support from the faculty and staff is a big help, possibly your biggest form of support will come from classmates, many of whom become lifelong friends after their online learning experience. When you come to the end of your Master of Education online program, we invite you to attend graduation ceremonies on-campus and participate in the opportunity to meet the peers you have had so many great discussions with online.
