Online learning program receives upgrade - David Burrows, the Jambar
For almost 10 years students have been able to take online courses for select degrees. Now, students have a greater selection to choose from thanks to a recent "blanket accreditation" awarded to the university. In the past, every time Youngstown State University wanted to offer a new degree program through Web-based courses, administrators would have to request accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission. YSU can now offer new degree programs through Web-based courses and distance learning without requesting new accreditation. "This puts us at a huge advantage over other universities," says Sal Sanders, director of distance learning. "Now we can work at our own pace without having to get new accreditations."
