Powered by University Alliance’s technology, Dominican’s online courses feature video-based lectures and 24/7 access, making them an ideal fit for busy working teachers.
Scholarship applications are being accepted through Oct. 7 for the Fall II, 2012 session. Candidates must be first-time applicants to Dominican’s online MAEd programs in Elementary Education, Reading or English as a Second Language. In addition, they must demonstrate that they have made a positive impact on others, and have a bachelor’s, master’s, specialist or doctorate degree with a minimum 3.0 GPA from an accredited institution.
