“The iSchool is proud to receive this recognition of our strong online programs,” says iSchool Dean Elizabeth D. Liddy. “We have been a leader in the field of online learning since 1993, and we continue to evolve and build our programs to best fit the needs of today’s digital learners.”
“We are excited that our legacy of online education has been recognized by U.S. News,” says Victoria Williams, director of online education at the iSchool. “Our online graduate programs enable us to attract working professionals who wouldn’t otherwise have access to this type of education, and also allows us to draw from a pool of high quality distance faculty members and instructors who can teach remotely.”
