Expectations High for New Sustainable Management Program

leif.nelson — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 20:53:02 +0000

UW-Extension Continuing Education, Outreach, and eLearning (CEOEL) is occupied with preparations for the Fall 2009 semester. Most notably is the new Sustainable Management (SMGT) program coming online this fall. Six courses are currently under development with faculty from partner campuses in the degree; general topics range from environmental science to economics in sustainability. Student applications to the program are coming in and expectations are high for the initial semester launch. With the inclusion of SMGT, as well as the other online programs that we support, we expect to launch roughly 100 completely online course sections for the Fall 2009 semester.
