D.Sc. IS Program Delivery
Courses in the D.Sc. in Information Systems program are offered using a variety of instructional delivery methods:
- Face-to-face on site in Madison, SD in a traditional classroom setting;
- Interactive video-conferencing via the Dakota Digital Network, offered at multiple sites in South Dakota (sites arranged to meet student needs);
- At a distance via Internet, using a combination of both live and/or encoded streaming videos of classes, interactive course web boards, course web sites, and e-mail. All courses are web-enhanced;
- Some on-campus residency requirements may be required, depending on the specialization chosen.
Instruction includes lectures, seminars, computer lab work, and guided research in the student’s specialization. This doctoral program uses a combination of on-campus and distance delivery methods. For example, in some courses, students may be required to come to campus just one weekend a month. Other weeks, the class would meet via Internet or some type of video-conferencing technology.
