Distance Learning Programs offered by the College of Education

The working adult must balance multiple roles and obligations of employment, family, faith, leisure and continuous learning on a daily basis. Making time for continuously updating knowledge and skills is a challenge for all and uprooting a family and giving up an income is not an option for most adults!

Florida State University offers a quality alternative to traditional face-to-face classroom courses. The College of Education at FSU currently offers five graduate degrees completely online. These programs range from preparing training and development specialists for business and government to increasing the competencies of educational leaders and teachers in administration, mathematics, and science.

Benefits to a quality distance learning program include the following:

Class members learn while they earn! No need to interrupt work and family to move to a college or university campus. No losses of pay and benefits while you earn graduate credits.
FSU is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). No distinction is made on the transcript indicating that a course or program of studies was completed in a distance learning mode.
Each course has a fully qualified and experienced instructor who has earned a doctoral degree. Some programs incur the extra expense of providing course mentors as a student support service.
Class members control time commitments to meet course requirements. No classes to attend on a structured schedule. Study is self-paced within a learning module format.
Class members learn how to collaborate in an online learning community, much as they might in a true "learning community".
Courses are designed with a theory-to-practice outcome; class members strive to become "scholar-practitioners."
