Rensselaer Goes the Distance
Because of its reputation, respected faculty, leading-edge
research, and dedication to quality, Rensselaer's distance
education program is a valuable resource to corporations
and their employees. Through a wide variety of technologies,
Rensselaer brings graduate courses, certificates, degree
programs, and non-credit seminars and workshops to working
professionals who pursue graduate education while remaining
fully employed at their work locations.
Rensselaer's distance education is highly
respected in the field of distance learning and continuing
education. In 1993 it was named Best Distance Learning Program-Higher
Education by the US Distance Learning Association. In 1996
it received recognition from the same organization for its
partnership with General Motors in the delivery of an MS
program in the management of technology. It is known for
an emphasis on quality, customer service, and excellent
production value.
Distance learning at Rensselaer
has evolved over the years, from satellite video course
delivery in 1987 to desktop videoconferencing and asynchronous
web delivery in 1998.
