Student Experience
The Fordham Graduate School of Education’s online programs are comprehensive learning experiences that seamlessly deliver the campus and classroom online, providing skills that translate to success in the field. In addition to live, engaging classes, Fordham’s online programs offer opportunities to interact with classmates and professors to create lasting relationships and create invaluable career connections. Fordham GSE online programs were designed exclusively for online students and are supported using sophisticated learning technology that enhances the student experience. This results in a dynamic, engaging structure that cultivates compassionate education professionals dedicated to student success in changing education spaces.
Face-to-Face Online Classes
Fordham online students meet weekly in live classes for real-time discussions about assignments and industry-specific scenarios. Students learn from distinguished Fordham faculty in size-limited online classrooms that facilitate group break-out sessions and instant feedback.
Mobile App
The Fordham GSE online experience provides the potential to learn wherever you are. Our mobile app allows students to complete coursework, attend class, access their student dashboard, or work offline—all from their devices.
Engaging Course Content
Our student-focused platform allows online students to be immersed in their academic community, opening the door to collaboration with peers and professors. Fordham’s education experts lead live, interactive classes featuring intriguing coursework, video lectures, case studies, and assignments, all of which is self-paced, downloadable, and may be accessed from anywhere, anytime with an internet connection.
In-Person Experiences
Students have the opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge gained in their online courses during in-person experiences in your community or on the Fordham campus. M.S.T. students are placed in a student-teaching experience in a local school, and Ed.D. students attend two on-campus immersions during which they collaborate, problem-solve, and network with peers.
Meaningful Relationships
There are a variety of ways in which students can connect with the diverse and ambitious network of professionals and Fordham faculty. Our digital campus allows you to meet inside and outside of class, form study and social groups, and attend office hours outside of live classes. Online students are an integral part of our university while also maintaining connections exclusive to their online experience.
