Receive the Same Excellence in Education as our On-Campus Students
ONLINE LEARNING
There is no distinction between students who earn their master's degree from University of Saint Mary on-campus or online. Regardless of the method of course delivery, the quality of the program is the same. You may worry if you 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 online 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 to your classroom, you will make your classroom anywhere you can access a computer and the internet. All of our class work (homework and writing assignments) 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 your education into your calendar. Instead of going out to lunch, many students take lunch at the computer to complete reading assignments. Students with children wake up early or work late after children are asleep to complete
weekly work.
While you will not have to visit the University of Saint Mary 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, course facilitator, or other students for help and support. Many students who have finished the teaching degree online program actually feel they have more support in the online environment than they ever have in an on-campus program.
