Focused. Inspired. Relevant.

Do you work in higher education - as an academic administrator or instructional designer? Or do you aspire to be a future faculty member? Are you a high school teacher in pursuit of a master's degree? Are you a corporate trainer? If so, the Colorado State University-Global Campus M.S. could be a perfect fit.

It's no secret that many institutions are now offering online courses and programs. But how should these entities design the policies and processes for developing, managing and assessing the quality of their programs?

The 36-credit hour M.S. answers those questions as they relate to online learning. Even faculty who may likely teach in an online format during their careers will benefit from this program that explores the nuances of adult learning and online instruction.

You will develop a thorough understanding of change management, administration, policy analysis, online technology, pedagogy, assessment and program development.

The comprehensive CSU-Global Campus curriculum is designed to address instruction methods, program development and program management in an online format, with emphasis in the higher education arena.
