Online master's course gives students more choices for part-time education

The college of criminal justice at Sam Houston State University will offer the online Master of Science in Criminal Justice Leadership in 2005.

This online course, designed by Master of Science in Criminal Justice Leadership, is for the students who request part-time educational programs. The need to provide convenient access has increased by providing them with the flexibility and convenience of learning anywhere an Internet connection is available.

The unique point of this course is to actively encourage the students to interact with each other, although there is some criticism that distance isolates the students in many cases. The courses are based on a collaborative learning model, which focuses on shared responsibility and active participation so they will help be familiar with the professors and other students through interactive and collaborative learning experiences.

Dr. Steven Cuvelier, director of the Texas Institute for Digital Education said, "Today, the demand for education is increasing. Distance learning is becoming a practical alternative for many non-traditional students."
