Until recently, it wasn’t possible to pursue a science degree online, largely because of the lab requirement. In this episode, Dr. Danny Welsch talks about how his science faculty got creative and figured out how to deliver the same science education in an innovative way by designing lab kits and instrumentation kits that are mailed to students so they can conduct experiments at home. Learn how these courses also use online resources like libraries of microscopic images and access to simulation labs so students can conduct virtual experiments. Hear how STEM faculty designed the first fully online organic chemistry program as well as courses in physics, astronomy, meteorology, geology, with plans to launch a fully online electrical engineering program and fully online environmental engineering program. Learn about the exciting challenges and benefits of making science education available and accessible to anyone who has an internet connection.
