Online education specialist and powerhouse The Sloan Consortium has awarded the University of Florida Global forensic Science program its 2006 national Award of Excellence in Distance Education. The online program, which offers master's degrees and graduate certificates in four areas of forensic science, was selected for the honor by a panel of 16 peer universities affiliated with the consortium. "Our forensic distance education master's programs have earned a well-respected international reputation in the past six years through our growing student enrollments and through partnering and assisting universities and governments in South America, Europe and Asia in education, workshops and training," Tebbett said. Congrats to UF, and here's hoping to see more quality like this in the future. (Picture Source: UF)
