I am currently in the Curriculum and Instruction (Applied Behavior Analysis) (MEd) at ASU online. I was very hesitant to take online classes because they can be very disconnected and have to self teach yourself everything. I was wrong and ASU online has made it very easy to receive support when necessary and also use the classmates for support. I will be starting my third class and look forward to learning from a different instructor. Online worked best for me, because it allowed me to work full... Read More time and receive the required 1500 hours of supervision to sit for the BACB state exam after I graduate with my masters. The professors treat you as adults and expect for you to turn in assignments when they are due. It has been a great experience and will be graduating Spring 2019/

Online learning inherently sounds like a sole-individual environment. At times, this would mean that I study alone at home, in the office or at the local Starbucks. Despite functioning in this setting, I chose to pursue graduate school online with Arizona State University (ASU). I was astounded to learn that I would not be alone for long. ASU has proven that distance cannot stop joint learning. I am continuously interacting with my classmates. Each course has synchronous meetings with 3-4 classmates... Read More and I am engaged with different peers from all over the world. This connects me to a continuous source of multicultural experiences to learn from. Learning about my classmates is molding my future. I am eager to start classes. In the infancy of my program, I am hungering for collective learning from encouraging professors. Feedback from professors is fluid and can be utilized in class and in the workplace. I do not feel pressure to produce papers with continuous citations, rather I am encouraged to explore the field in a professional thought provoking manner. This helps me apply my coursework to my employment. I recommend Arizona State University because I can directly apply what I am learning with what I am doing, and I am not doing it alone.

Arizona State University's online graduate program in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a great way for a full-time, working mother to pursue career goals! The online ABA program has been flexible in a way that I have been able to complete assignments, readings, viewings and online team meetings around my very busy schedule! The rigor of the work is impressive and has proved to stretch my current thinking. Online grading offers timely feedback and the use of an ePortfolio has proven a great way... Read More to organize my work and present it online. The most impressive part of this program is the lead instructor, and the many co-instructors, and the way all online ABA students are split, bi-quarterly, into teams. This allows online students to be a part of a smaller community with more 1:1 feedback from the co-instructor. Arizona State University online graduate programs are leading the way in innovative and creative ways for full-time, working mothers to further their careers!

The online program allowed me to stay in China with my husband, work part-time and study at any time convenient to me. I really appreciate this opportunity, for even though my GPA in college were not good enough for the program, the admission staff took into consideration of my experience in the field and references from experts and granted me admission provisionally. It shows how this university value a persons experiences and talents, comparing to some other universities who just consider GPA points.... Read More The curriculum builds firm foundations and teaches many great practical skills for early childhood education. It is organized in a very logical order, with courses building on each other. However, it does offer rolling admission, which means sometimes you might not get the best sequence of the courses. Being an online program, the courses contains reading materials, videos, power-point presentations and class discussions, which are sufficient for me to understand and grasp the knowledge and skill. Self-research online and in the library is also highly encouraged through the curriculum, which is a necessary skill of life-long learning. Weekly assignments of various forms give me prompt opportunity to practice what I've learned in that week. The assignments are in different forms and come with clear expectations, guidance, and rubrics, which again become a learning opportunity. You do have to submit the assignments in time and grades are strictly marked according to the rubrics. The Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College Im in is a college with a long history and they really know how to teach. Each course has different instructors, although they all send you instruction letters, give feedback to your assignments and answer your questions promptly, they do have different styles. Some are close and easy-going, some are more like the professors. I believe every student has his/her favorite teacher. The teacher-student ratio varies from 1-17 to 1-23 based on the number of students registered for that course. In addition to an instructor, every student is assigned an academic advisor and a coach, who always take the initiative to contact you. 24/7 online technology and financial service live chats are available. You can also easily get free online tutors with a very simple procedure. The tutors offered great help with my assignments. The university updates all kinds of scholarship opportunities and saves your effort. International students are also eligible for Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College scholarship. Hooray! One thing I love about this program is my classmates are from diverse backgrounds, some are already experienced teachers teaching in different programs to students from different cultures, some are home-schooling moms looking to get into the profession and others like me are working outside the States. You can learn a lot from a different perspective. Another thing I love is not all courses require book purchase, often times there are links to download reading materials. Given the fact how expensive the books are in the States, this saves a lot of money!

I was looking for a flexible and affordable university that would allow me to work full time while also working towards my Master's degree. I found the Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder that perfectly matched what I was looking for to . I can, without a doubt, say that Arizona State University was the best decision I made for my education and my future career. The instructors are amazing and really want to make sure you succeed. When I was having trouble with my... Read More class schedule my advisor was very accommodating and the people in financial aid were very helpful. I would definitely recommend ASU to anyone looking for an online program.

I admit I was nervous about starting a Master's degree, especially an online program. I have seen friends struggle with teaching themselves complicated ideas and not getting feedback, under the pressure of their entire grade riding on a single final exam. Thankfully, my experience with Arizona State University Masters in Curriculum and Instruction has been nothing like that! I have received clear instructions, useful feedback on graded assignments, and helpful responses from both instructors and... Read More fellow students whenever I have reached out. Once you enroll in your classes you gain access to My ASU, where you can find links to important and useful stuff like course catalogues, your financial status, the academic calendar, and academic services. The online university uses Blackboard as a platform for communication and assignment submission, and this is also linked to your My ASU page. From Blackboard, you can navigate between assignments, discussion boards, course materials, and your current grades which are usually updated weekly. For me blackboard was confusing at first, although I quickly learned to navigate it. One issue I have had is that some professors post assignments and deadlines in different platforms, and it can be frustrating trying to find specific information. My instructors have been very knowledgeable and the assignments are relevant. There is a lot of reading involved, which can be tedious but Im not sure how they could get around this. The discussion board is another common feature in the online classes- each student is required to write a post of a certain length on a specified topic, and then comment on a certain number of other posts before a deadline each week. Its not as natural as a discussion in person, but it is a good way to see other peoples perspectives and learn from their viewpoints. That said, if reading and writing are not your strong points then this is not a good choice for you. Ideally I would prefer to take classes in person. I enjoy the classroom atmosphere and fact-to-face discussions. However, the online program is definitely more convenient as I can do everything around my own schedule, and location is not an issue. Another benefit is that online classes are much cheaper! Overall I would highly recommend the online Masters in curriculum and Instruction at Arizona State University.

The Master's of Education in Curriculum & Instruction with an emphasis in Gifted Education had wonderful and knowledgeable professors. The curriculum for this degree had text from renown individuals in the field of gifted education such as Richard M. Cash and Carol Tomlinson. This degree also helped me establish a Gifted and Talented Education Program on the Navajo Reservation. I recommend Arizona State University to anyone who is considering the opportunity to invest in themselves for professional... Read More development.

The pros of my graduate program are that all of my professors have experience teaching in classrooms where English language learners are present, and I have often found that my professors are either English language learners themselves, or come from families who speak English as a second language. Another pro is that all of the coursework is very applicable to the real world and I can easily see how it connects to my classroom. The only con of my graduate program is that the order of the classes... Read More is difficult to switch depending upon when the classes are offered.
