Indiana University online master's degree a "best buy"

Indiana University's online master of science degree program in adult education is recognized as a "Best Buy" by GetEducated.com LLC, a national clearinghouse of accredited online degree programs.

The IU School of Continuing Studies program can be completed entirely online, aside from one three-day visit to the Indianapolis campus. It draws students from a broad cross section of the economy -- including the military, medical fields and business -- and prepares them for a variety of jobs in academia, human resources, technical instruction and essentially any sector that requires employee workplace learning and improvement.

"I am pleased to learn that the GetEducated.com clearinghouse has recognized the M.S. in Adult Education as a 'Best Buy,'" said Henry Merrill, chair of the adult education program. "The online course format engages students and faculty in powerful interaction about the current theory and practice of adult learning and development. There is rich dialogue in the courses in which students describe the various ways they apply their knowledge and skills to their workplace context."
