MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Center for Advanced Educational Services (CAES), Distance Learning Programs,Cambridge, MA
The College: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is one of the world's outstanding universities. MIT is independent, coeducational and privately endowed. It is organized into five schools that contain twenty-one academic departments, as well as many interdepartmental programs, laboratories and centers.
Distance Learning Programs: The Center for Advanced Educational Services offers various undergraduate and graduate educational programs via multi-modal distance learning.
Delivery Media: Off-campus learners use a combination of communication technologies for course delivery including videoconferencing, satellite, internet, videotapes, e-mail, and fax. The design of MIT's distance learning programs recognizes the benefits of student-professor as well as student-student interaction.
Program(s) of Study: Programs that exist through the Center for Advanced Educational Services range from entirely asynchronous, independent learning to entirely synchronous, group based learning. At the present time there is no degree granting program offered through CAES, however, some of the courses can be taken for MIT credit that may later be applied towards a degree granting program.
The Advanced Study Program (ASP) provides lifelong learning opportunities for working professionals to be a part of the MIT experience through a unique partnership with academia. ASP courses delivered via distance learning technologies allow groups of learners to participate at their location instead of coming to the MIT campus.
The Hypermedia Teaching Facility (HTF) develops web-based courses for the MIT community and for distance learning applications. These web-based courses are custom-designed in collaboration with MIT faculty and staff to meet the pedagogical and technological requirements of the particular set of course content and intended learners.
In additon to programs offered through The Center for Advanced Educational Services, CAES distributes a number of eight-week certificate programs through PBS The Business Channel. For more information on these programs, please check our web site at: http://www-caes.mit.edu/Programs/distance.html
Credit Options: Both credit and non-credit courses are offered through CAES. Distance learners participating in the ASP are eligible to receive MIT credit for course work that is successfully completed.
Admission: Applicants seeking for-credit courses through the ASP should check the admissions requirements on our web site at: http://caes.mit.edu/Programs/asp.html
Applicants seeking non-credit courses will be accepted based upon their academic training and professional experience. In order to maintain the highest standards, CAES reserves the right to select those applicants whose qualifications and experiences suggest that they will receive the most benefit from a given program.
Tuition and Fees: Tuition is based on the type of academic credit provided. For-credit courses, delivered live through the ASP, carry full MIT tuition for qualified candidates.
Financial Aid: There is no financial aid offered for any of the distance learning programs offered through the CAES.
Applying: Individuals interested in applying to any of the CAES distance learning programs need to submit an application, along with the required supporting documents.

Old Dominion University We understand the needs of the placebound student; those who live far from our campus, already employed, already settled, but who realize the advantages of a degree in their chosen field. We understand the needs of those whose careers are well underway, but whose employers require expertise in the latest technological advances or whose chance for promotion depends on an advanced degree. We understand the needs of the thousands of people affected by down-sizing, who need a retraining, relearning experience. We understand the parent, whose schedule is already filled with their child's educational pursuits and activities, and who cannot seem to find time to complete a degree program. Through Old Dominion's higher education centers, Weekend College program, Military programs, and the TELETECHNET distance learning network, attaining a degree has become a reality for everyone.
