How is the SJSU MPH Distance Education component similar to the campus component?
The distance and campus components are similar in that all students receive the same rigorous course content, with the same course learning objectives, and the same professional faculty. However, all distance courses are delivered online and students only meet once a year for about 5-days in San José. Course length varies from five to seven weeks for distance students. Courses are taught sequentially, and not concurrently, with the exception of some overlap during the field experience (internship). In addition, in most courses, distance students meet once a week online for a live class session via the Elluminate learning platform.
