At the present time there is no degree-granting program offered through
CAES. However, off-campus learners are eligible to receive MIT credit for
course work that is successfully completed as participants in the
MIT Advanced Study Program (ASP). MIT credit received
through the ASP may later be applied toward a degree-granting program, at MIT
or elsewhere.
Through our Strategic Partner Relationships, some off-campus learners can
take MIT courses that earn credit at their home institutions. To learn more
about these opportunities, please contact
caes-courses@mit.edu.
CAES works in close collaboration with the
MIT System Design and
Management Program (SDM), a master's degree program for professional
engineers that combines on-campus and distance learning participation.
CAES offers a variety of non-credit programs and courses through distance
learning technologies. Participants may receive Certificates of Completion
issued by CAES or, in some cases, Continuing Education Units (CEUs). In
addition to scheduled courses and programs, we can tailor a program to meet the
specific needs of groups of learners at remote locations.
Non-credit programs are offered through:
The Advanced Study Program (ASP)
In addition to regularly scheduled distance-learning courses,
the ASP can develop a distance-learning program of any length to meet your
organization's needs. We will coordinate the efforts of MIT faculty and staff,
and deliver the program through the MIT Learning Networks.
The
Professional Institute (PI)
Many of the courses normally offered on-campus through the
Professional Institute can be designed to meet the off-campus needs of your
organization. Delivery of program content can combine synchronous and
asynchronous technologies. CAES will coordinate the efforts of MIT faculty and
staff, and deliver the program through our Virtual Campus Learning System.
The MIT Video Course Program (VCP)
We can customize a distance learning program for your
organization based upon any of the Video Courses in our catalog. In addition
to videotapes and printed materials, learners can have access to MIT faculty
through e-mail, web pages, and/or videoconferencing.
The
Hypermedia Teaching Facility (HTF)
The Hypermedia Teaching Facility (HTF) develops web-based
courses for the MIT community and for distance learning applications. These
web-based courses are custom-designed in collaboration with MIT faculty and
staff to meet the pedagogical and technological requirements of the particular
set of course content and intended learners. Web-based courses typically
include e-mail, mailing lists, discussion groups, links to internet and www
resources, digitized video, animation, photos, figures, charts, and search
utilities.
PBS
The Business Channel (TBC):
CAES provides content to the The Business Channel, a joint
venture of the Public Broadcasting Service and The Williams Companies, Inc. At
the present time, TBC courses are delivered via private satellite television,
supplemented by internet and printed materials.
