Distance Education
To make receiving a Rensselaer degree conveniently available to working professionals, many of our graduate courses are delivered simultaneously live on-campus and, by electronic means, throughout the United States and abroad. Instructor's teaching techniques and the classroom technology support distance students' class participation at home or at work. The mix of full-time, on-campus students with part-time, students who are working professionals provides a lively and enriching educational environment for all students.
Students enroll in distance courses or part-time campus study through Rensselaer's Education for Working Professionals program.
