ASTAT courses are 100% online. They are led by instructors who engage students in a range of learning activities that may include reading, watching lectures and demonstrations, participating in asynchronous online discussion boards, taking online tests and quizzes, and completing a broad range of assignments.
In support of the program’s MBA-like case-study approach to learning, students will have the opportunity to conduct and obtain credit for a research project, using a data example at their workplace or in their field. Ideally, students will be able to immediately apply what they learn in class to their work environment for the duration of the program.
For every credit hour, there are approximately five hours of lecture, and students typically spend three hours of study (reading, tests, assignments) for every lecture hour. Instructors will be available to answer student questions via email or via telephone—by appointment.
