Answers:
- Is this distance learning degree any different from the one that is earned on-campus at The George Washington University?
No. You will receive the same master's degree and your diploma will be the same as earned by an on-campus student.
- How is the program accredited?
The George Washington University is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the regional accrediting body recognized by the US Department of Education and The Council on Post-Secondary Education. State agencies and reputable academic institutions only recognize degrees from regionally accredited institutions when considering someone for employment, or further academic study (including transfer or course credit). These programs also meet the tuition reimbursement standards of most agencies. The Graduate School of Education and Human Development has been continuously accredited by the National Council of Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) since 1954.
- How long is the program?
The program is completed in 22 months. There are five semesters which each last 16 to 18 weeks.
- How many credits and courses do I take each semester?
You will enroll in two, three-credit hour courses each semester for a total of six credits each semester. However the Internship is worth six credits. The courses do not overlap. You will take just one course at a time.
- How much does the program cost?

- How much time is required in this program?
This program is designed for the working professional who must keep up with the demands of work and home. Most students require 15-20 hours of study per week. It allows you to study on your own time. Your small group facilitator acts as your personal mentor and coach and will help keep you on track. Students also find their classmates are a tremendous source of support.

"I chose this program because I was familiar with the reputation of GW and the education department and knew I would come out highly prepared. Also, the convenience of the online program was a major factor in my decision. It allowed me to interact with people all over the world and grow professionally while maintaining my personal life and all the responsibilities that go along with that. I would do this again and recommend it to friends and colleagues."
