21st century distance learning school
Our online BS degree in information technology has its roots in 19th century correspondence courses. Such classes required the student to mail completed assignments to the instructor; students typically received little if any feedback and had no chance to ask questions. Distance learning today is very different, with an array of support services available to online students. At GU/MSB, our online students have access to robust software that facilitates student-faculty interaction, an electronic library and an online help desk.
