UNECOM Online Education
Distance education has become an increasingly important part of the University of New England's education mix, to better serve both the University's traditional and non-traditional students. The College of Osteopathic Medicine's Online Education programs offer:
The college offers three on-line programs: Masters in Public Health (MPH), Masters in Medical Education Leadership MMEL and a post baccalaureate program of health science prerequisite courses. These programs are fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).
The post baccalaureate program is for students who wish to enter a health professions program but lack the necessary prerequisite courses. Most students will be in the workforce and changing careers. They may find it difficult to attend a traditional college for various reasons: some are in the military, some hold jobs with inflexible work hours, and some live in rural areas. Students may enroll in the post baccalaureate courses at any time and from anywhere in the world. The courses are designed to be completed in 16 weeks, but they are self-paced so depending on the circumstances students may adjust the completion time to meet their needs.
The University is committed to our distance-learning students. The students who choose to learn through the University's extended campus are an integral part of the University community. Technological links enable students to interact with their faculty, advisors, support service administrators, as well as their student colleagues.
