The University of Cincinnati distance learning Master's Degree in Educational Administration is uniquely designed to be affordable, flexible, and ultimately convenient for full-time working educators.

Everything you need to succeed in the pursuit of your Educational Administration degree is delivered to your home or available anytime, anywhere in our virtual classroom. Practica and internships can be completed in your local community or workplace.

Other distance learning programs require you to leave your career to go back to school or participate in out-dated correspondence courses that just do not have any academic depth or peer support. At the University of Cincinnati we're different. We've created a unique and powerful way to learn that leverages the strengths of traditional programs with new technologies and proven distance learning methods.

Benefits
Unprecedented Support-Every Step of the Way
Our distance learning Master's of Educational Administration program is not a simple correspondence course. It is a fully supported "virtual classroom" that equals the care and attention afforded to our on-campus students, including full-time faculty and the personal attention of an instructional facilitator and the support of the learning community. This unprecedented level of student support creates a vastly more enriching and involved learning experience that results in higher graduation rates and more satisfied students.

Course Delivery Methods
Our Educational Administration program uses a multifaceted approach that delivers course content through a combination of multi-media presentations, readings, discussion sessions, online assignments, peer and professional support systems and local practica. This means that, unlike so many other programs, you are never limited to one learning method.

Learn at Home
The majority of the course content is conveniently delivered to you via multimedia presentations, online readings, or textbooks. A schedule is available on the course website that includes information on assignments, due dates, quizzes, presentations, and discussion topics. Students can access this information anytime, anywhere.

Learn Online
The highest quality and amount of peer/faculty interaction possible is available through the course website. Through this centralized portal, students have access to threaded discussion forums, class e-mail, online quizzes and assignments, and course announcements. Your very own "virtual classroom" is only as far away as your home or office computer.

Learn Together
New technologies and our unique learning model allow you to realize the benefits of a small group learning environment without the need to travel back to campus. Learning groups participate in group projects and share real world experiences that enrich their understanding of the course content - all in a virtual classroom.

Learn at Work
As you advance through coursework, you will have the opportunity to put your learning to practice in your local school and district, and immediately apply your new knowledge and skills to real world problems, situations, practica and internships.
