Technology Helps Veterans With Disabilities Earn Degrees

Technology Helps Veterans With Disabilities Earn Degrees

Dr. Joseph Drew, associate professor of political science, started a distance learning program at the Louis Stokes Cleveland Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center to help veterans with disabilities earn degrees. Drew modeled this initiative after Kent State’s Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.) program, the university’s only entirely online degree program, which he directs.

In this week’s video, learn more about the distance learning program in an interview with Drew, and hear testimonials from some of the students participating in the pilot.

Watch the video in Windows Media Player or watch the video in QuickTime.
