Distance Learning

Distance courses offered or planned UCLA utilizes various Internet and distance-learning tools for program preparation and as a supplement to formal classroom teaching. Although the school feels the medium is not necessarily viable for all courses, particularly those that require intensive interaction between participants and faculty, it is an extremely effective tool for pre-program preparation and post-program networking.
