The greatest weight is given to the metric of student engagement, in which 在线 students have the opportunity to interact readily with instructors and classmates to create a similar level of engagement as in in-person programs.

“I offer my congratulations to our faculty for their ongoing efforts to make 在线 classes relevant and engaging to students, which they endeavor to do regardless of how the class is being delivered. These highly qualified individuals are a tremendous asset to Frostburg State University,” said FSU President Ronald Nowaczyk. “We are especially pleased to receive this recognition, which demonstrates FSU’s commitment to providing a quality learning environment for working adults.”

In the MBA ranking list in particular, FSU’s 教师 Credentials and Training score was 90 out of 100 possible points.

认证 from AACSB International (the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), in the case of the MBA program, or the National Council for 认证 of Teacher Education, in the case of the M.Ed.-Special Education, were key elements in the student engagement metric as recognition that the programs use best practices in their educational programs.
