Distance courses from IVY league schools?

Hello,

I am wondering which IVY league schools offer distance learning, or Extension degrees other than Harvard? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

 

Columbia has a relatively short residency doctorate in education, probably 90% of the work and time by distance learning.

Pennsylvania has a variety of distance and on-line business courses through Wharton.

MIT (not Ivy, but for all intents and porpoises...) is in the process of putting nearly all their courses on-line, apparently for free.

 

Do you know if these courses will be offered for credit, or will it just be the course material?

 

Here's a lot of Ivy.

Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Oxford have combined their Universities in a $12 million distance learning project. Although the program is open to alumni, other students may be accepted: Just tell them that you are interested. Go to the University's web site, and perform a search for distance learning. They also have other distance learning opportunities.

You can get more useful information direct from the project's website:

Princeton withdrew last year, and I'm not sure that Harvard was ever part of the alliance. For a very recent article about this, see University alliance quietly experiments with e-learning from 12 Feb 2002. Note that the alliance does not offer courses for academic credit.

 

And don't try McGill:

Everyone knows that most universities are developing Distance Education programs to meet the growing demand for courses that can be taken nonlocally. It may seem strange then, that at this critical time, we have taken the decision to phase out our current Distance Education course offerings. Recent advances in technology have convinced us that it may be more worthwhile to develop new courses and programs than to revamp existing courses for Web presentation. Students currently enrolled in existing programs will be able to finish within their allotted time however no new admissions to Distance Education programs will be accepted. We hope this will be viewed as a temporary situation and that we will be back again soon, stronger than ever, with new and vibrant programs in a web-based environment.
