| “I have very much enjoyed
my on-line classes at Metropolitan State University.
The Strategic Management of Information and Public Service
Redesign courses were not only well targeted for public
administrators; they were every bit as demanding and
fulfilling as traditional classroom courses….The
material is very structured, yet opens unlimited doors
of opportunity for applying the material to one’s
job, department, or even entire government bodies….On-line
education isn't merely a convenience for dedicated public
servants; it is often the only choice left after fulfilling
commitments to family, work, and community.“ |

| ”Having to work the third
shift, in addition to a busy family life, often presented
challenges for me in attending classes that met weekly.
The on-line classes that I attended at Metropolitan
State University allowed me more convenience and flexibility,
without sacrificing a quality educational experience.
I was surprised at the level to which the on-line classes
were still interactive, and I got to know other students
through the courses “ |

| “I like the fact that expectations
and schedules were clearly laid out and easy to follow.
Being able to see the whole month at a glance on the
calendar plus having a... syllabus for each segment
of the course keeps the student on track. For adult
students, time always seems to be the issue; there just
isn't enough! (On-line learning) really helps save time
and reduce stress because you can log on from home,
work, or wherever at any time.” |

| “The online courses that
I took were excellent! Well organized and covering many
of the emerging public administration topics that I
encounter in my daily work. Moreover, as someone who
travels regularly for business, online courses are an
essential learning option toward achieving a graduate
degree.” |
