Distinguishing characteristics of online program (as submitted by school)
Auburn University has delivered courses in a distance mode since 1989, is AACSB accredited, and has a proven track record of success. The business school has smart classrooms where on campus classes are recorded and streamed online to distance students later that same day - thus distance students get the same material as on-campus students, with online discussion boards supplementing in class discussion and facilitating interaction among peers and professors.
