Jones International University, which received the first accreditation in the United States of a completely virtual institution, has 2004-2005 graduates representing eight countries and more than 30 states across the U.S., living proof that it has taken the distance out of distance education. The participants in today's online commencement — which included an address by the Librarian of Congress, Dr. James Billington — shared observations about their tenure at JIU.
"I have had experience with several online schools and JIU is the best of those. JIU has somehow made a personal connection through the online environment and that makes all the difference," wrote Lonnie Standard from Quincy, Ill. Standard, a training developer with Jordan and Howard Technologies, earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Information Technology Management. "I have been involved with electronic and computer-based learning for 15 years and I believe it is a way for us all to stay knowledgeable in a wide variety of subjects."
Several graduates with highly mobile careers cited the anywhere/anytime nature of JIU's online format as the key to completing their studies. "I moved in the middle of my MBA from Houston to Kuwait and was able to complete my MBA with no issue; all I needed was an Internet connection," said Zouhir Omar Baki, recipient of an MBA in Negotiation and Conflict Management.
