The Associate Degree in Nursing Accelerated Modality (MAGAE by its Spanishacronym) program is an adaptation of the Associate Degree in Nursing approved by the

Council for Higher Education. The program schedule was formatted to accommodate the

fast track pace of the adult modality.

The MAGAE program requires courses taken through both distance education

(49%) and traditional in-classroom (51%) modalities. On-line courses are accessed through

EDPs virtual campus (www.campusvirtualedp.net). Face to face courses, along with their

DISTANCE LEARNING

EDP College of Puerto Rico recognizes the importance of technology integration

within the educational experience and therefore enhance the quality of higher educationopportunities. The Institution aims to provide students with the experience of taking at

least one on-line course. This responds to the mission which guides all of the Institutions

educational actions. The Office of Distance Education and Technological Development

oversees the development of accessible college courses and programs.

In 2003-2004 the Institution began the process of offering distance learning

courses. During this period the proposed on-line courses had to go through the ACICSs

rigorous process of approval. As a result, the Office of Technology Development at EDP

was created. This office is responsible for the design and enrichment of new on-line

offerings. One of the goals for the 2008-2013 Strategic Plan is to develop a virtual campus.This goal is an indicator of the outcome for this nontraditional modality of study.

By comparing the Fall terms of the last two years 2008 and 2009, a significant

increase of students (245) enrolled in this mode can be observed.
