Online Degrees

The Master of Science and Specialist Degrees can be completed at a distance through our online learning program. Courses are delivered electronically on the World Wide Web over the Internet. The program includes a high level of interactivity and collaboration.

Note: It may also be possible to complete a Master of Arts Degree online, if you have already met the language requirement. The additional 6 hours of liberal arts courses that are required for the Master of Arts are typically not offered online but may be taken at another accredited institution and transferred for credit toward your FSU degree. If you would like to consider the Master of Arts at a distance, please contact Graduate Student Services.

Completion Time: Most Students earn the master degree completely online in less than three years, even if they are employed full-time and/or have family responsibilities.

Online Course Tuition: All students are allowed to take online courses. However, the tuition is assessed differently for on-campus vs distance students. We provide some clarification about this issue under the Online Courses section of the page about preparing to register for classes.
