Are You Ready?

Does the prospect of "attending" a class in your pajamas sound appealing to you? Do you like the idea of being able to enter into a class discussion after your children are in bed, when you have some quiet time? Does your job or other obligations prevent you from commuting to a campus several times a week during the evening? Are you prepared to work hard for a year to complete a graduate degree? If you answered yes to these questions, you are ready for our online degree program!

Online degree programs and courses offer several advantages for learning anytime, any place, but you need to weigh several possibilities to make sure they are the best solution for you.

Online learning is different from the traditional classroom-based education that you may be used to.  Online courses are taught over the Internet with lessons, lectures, activities, assignments, and communication delivered through some form of course management system.  Successful online students are self-motivated and self-disciplined, traits that require you to work at your own pace to meet assignment and project deadlines and actively participate in course activities. You must be able to keep up with the course content and scheduled activities without a teacher looking over your shoulder.  For some, online courses also require more time than regular classes, requiring, again, self-motivation as well as time management skills. 

Written communication and interaction are very important in NGTE online courses.  Students can expect a very fulfilling, collaborative learning experience facilitated by knowledgeable, actively engaged faculty. You will dialogue often with other students, sharing your experiences while learning from the experience of others.  

So, take the next step and apply for admission into one of our online degree programs. You will be shaping your future!
