Is the quality of the educational experience equal to that of a traditional program?
Yes. WPI has strict requirements that all courses offered via their network meet the same qualifications as their traditional on-campus counterparts. In fact, its professors work closely with a full-time instructional design team that assists them in determining the best communication technologies for their courses and assists them with converting their courses to online formats. Distance courses are, in essence, identical to campus-based classes. Students have access to the same class content, course materials, academic resources, and faculty; therefore, they may combine both distance and on-campus courses to complete their program requirements.
