Online learning offers flexibility and convenience, but it's not for everyone. Recognizing this fact, UMassOnline is offering over ten new blended learning programs. UMassOnline CEO david gray explains: "We set out to be among the first to define and develop learning options that acknowledge long-standing and well-known preferences among some students for at least some element of campus connection and community, and we've done that." Here are the blended programs now available:

UMass Amherst:
BA in Health and Human Services
Doctor of Nursing Practice

UMass Boston:
Expansion of RN to BS
Post-Baccalaureate Clinical Educator Certificate Program

UMass Dartmouth:
B.A. in Liberal Arts Degree Completion Program
Business Programs

UMass Lowell:
Health Management and Policy Master's Program with Certificates in Health Informatics, Health Management, and Health Policy

UMass Worcester Graduate School of Nursing:
Nurse Educator Post-Master's Certificate Program
OBGYN Professional Development Training for Clinical Issues

Hopefully these programs will serve as a great example of blending online learning with traditional methods.
