Distance Learning Opportunities
The Center for Advanced Educational Services is a leader in distance learning,
leveraging the growing capabilities of computer and telecommunication technologies.
These include interactive multimedia, the Internet, the World Wide Web,
videoconferencing, satellite TV, as well as more mature delivery mechanisms
such as videotapes and books. We offer a variety of off-campus programs,
both credit and non-credit, designed to meet the evolving needs of undergraduate,
graduate, and professional learners.
Tuition is based on the type of academic credit provided. See
the specific course description to determine the relevant information for
any particular course or offering.
Live Satellite Broadcast Courses from MIT with PBS The Business Channel
The Center for Advanced Educational Services produces satellite broadcast courses
for PBS The Business and Technology Network that are specially-designed
for professional engineers, scientists, and managers.

Delivery Modes
The MIT Learning Networks allow for a range of participation
options, from entirely asynchronous, independent learning to entirely synchronous,
group based learning. See specific course descriptions for more information
about delivery options for that program. Most courses are multi-modal;
they employ several delivery modes so that some participation is asynchronous
and some is synchronous.
