E-Learning, Jane Beckerdite, St. Louis Commerce
Neither time nor distance are excuses any longer for having a lack of education. Most colleges and universities in the St. Louis region offer Internet-based coursework, also called distance learning. With little more than a home computer, students can master the works of Shakespeare or earn an MBA–all from the comfort of their homes. State Rep. Clint Zweifel, of Florissant, did just that. In 2001, Zweifel received his master of business administration degree through the online MBA program at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. “I picked the online MBA program at the University of Missouri-St. Louis for several reasons,” Zweifel says. “The time factor was the main one, since I was already involved in politics and didn’t have the time needed to dedicate toward a weekly classroom course. The program at UMSL is one of the best. Having the same cohort group of people together throughout the program allowed me to meet a great mix of folks from different fields outside of my own,” he says.
