IGSM's Distance Education Program
|
|
| Distance learning has become quite popular, including some schools that offer full degree programs off-site. It is the intention of IGSM to offer significant coursework through the distance-learning model, while at the same time offering on-site classes at its extensions throughout North America. Students in any of our programs are allowed to complete up to 50% of their graduation requirements through distance education. Course offerings will not be large initially, but are expected to grow at a faster rate than our on-site programs as students begin to take advantage of this option. |

Online Format:
- Reading Assignment -- approximately 33-75 hours
depending on the number of semester credit hours for which the student is enrolled. Reading can be done
prior to Internet portion of the class or on a schedule set by the
faculty member during the Internet portion of the class.
- Class Attendance -- 13 weeks. Each week there will
be one text-based portion of approximately 90 minutes to be done at the
student’s own pace and one discussion group portion (set at a specific
time for all students) of approximately 90 minutes. Thus, the total is
approximately 39 hours.
- Written Project -- approximately 45-90 hours
depending on the number of semester credit hours for which the student is enrolled. All projects must be
completed within two months of the completion of the Internet class.
