UB Offers Master's Degree in Education Via Distance Learning
By ADAM SMITH | Aug. 29, 2001Beginning this fall, students working towards a master's degree in general education will never have to be in the same room with a professor.A joint effort between the UB Graduate School of Education and the College of Arts and Sciences has formed a new distance-learning program, allowing students to complete coursework via online resources and teleconference rooms set up in various locations around western New York.While UB has offered classes in a similar format before, the new degree will mark the first time that students can complete an entire degree program through distance learning.Participants can attend classes in one of three locations: Jamestown High School in Chautauqua County, Cuba-Rushford High School in Cattaraugus, and Niagara Academy in Niagara County.
