Distance Learning
To make receiving a Rensselaer degree conveniently available to working professionals, many of our graduate courses are delivered simultaneously live on-campus and, by electronic means, throughout the United States and abroad. The mix of full-time, on-campus students with part-time, students who are working professionals provides a lively and enriching educational environment for all students.
Students can enroll in distance courses or part-time campus study through Rensselaer's Education for Working Professionals program.
