An oft-overlooked player in the distance education field. . .here's an updated list of the online offerings at tiny PSC: http://www.peru.edu/offuttafb/degreeprograms/onlinelearning.htm basrsu
And it looks as if they will give up to the equivalent of an Associates (66 units) for what they call 'life experience learning.' Someone once told me that the school name (and town) are pronounced "PEE-roo." Is this true?
I am in my last term at PSC; in May I will be graduating with an MS in education. (My BA was from a B&M school, so I don't have any personal experience with PSC's undergraduate courses.) It is a great school and I've been mostly happy with my experience. I think they have had some trouble adapting to the rapid growth they've experienced - they're still small but they have had a significant increase in enrollments recently. The problems are relatively unimportant: I've had trouble getting responses from a few administrators (this has been improving), and some of the courses have too many students because they haven't opened up multiple sections. The professors have done well with grading work and responding to questions quickly, though sometimes you can tell that they have too much on their plate. By the way, every time I've called someone from the business office or education department, they have pronounced it puh-ROO, though maybe other people pronounce it differently. I'm still considering attending graduation, so maybe I'll find out firsthand.
