USC's Online Learning Master's Called Cybereducation Milestone - SHEILA RILEY, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
When a school such as the University of Southern California delivers an online master's degree in teaching, some observers say the message is this: Cyberspace education has arrived. USC's Rossier School of Education is billing the degree as the first of its kind offered by a "major research university." "The thing that impresses me is that you have a major elite university like USC, with a certain branding, deciding to aggressively pursue a fully online program at the master's level," said academic and author Alfred Rovai. USC's program, on track to begin classes in June, is an online version of the Los Angeles university's established K-12 teacher education curriculum.
