USC offers online masters degree program in Teaching
Hey my dorm room buddies
Looks like there’s been a major “breakthrough” in online eduction…
That’s because a major university has joined the ranks of those offering online master’s degrees.
The school? It’s none other and University of Southern California.
The program? An online master’s degree in teaching.
The implication? Online master’s degrees have “arrived”
According to USC’s Rossier School of Education, their new online master’s degree is the first of its kind offered by a “major research university.”
…OK…maybe…
But there is no doubt that when a major elite university like USC begins to market a fully online program at the master’s level, that’s worth noting. And may have noticed.
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.
Students can obtain a teaching credential along with their master’s.
Taught by full-time professors, the program includes interactive lectures, streaming video, chat rooms and online conferences with instructors.
And dig this…
USC will even provide students with digital cameras to record themselves when they do the required student teaching. Their professors and peers will view the videos, then critique and discuss them.
Cool…with a capital C
The online program will cost the same as USC’s on-campus program. For this school year, the university’s on-campus Master of Arts in Teaching students paid $1,249 per unit.
Pricey for sure, but hey… it’s U-S-C for goodness sakes…
