			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Le Tourneau University is a Christian university that believes in the concept of individual attention to all students.  Towards this end, they have hired highly qualified faculty in large numbers and classrooms are kept small with few students per each class.  The school’s faculty are required to take a pledge to live a Christian lifestyle and provide spiritual Christ-centred guidance to students, along with imparting academic theoretical education and practical skills.  All the programs at the university are specifically designed to lead students towards following biblical principles and pursuing successful careers after they graduate from the school.</p>
<p>The school was founded by R.G. and Evelyn LeTourneau in 1946 as a means of educating World War II returned Texas veterans.  In the beginning, when the school was in its infancy, the focus was solely on technical education but with the passing of years, several other programs were introduced.  Today, students are offered a variety of majors.  The school has two campuses; the Texas campus and Longview campus.  All the programs are offered at both the campuses.  This Christian-based school has earned the distinction of ranking highly at the national level for its programs and has become well-known for the strong Christian values and education it imparts.</p>
<p>Many respected degree programs are offered to students by LeTourneau University.  Some of these programs have received immense praise and nationwide attention, such as Business, Education, Engineering and Aeronautics.  These programs are so well-designed and touch different aspects of the subject, that they provide students the strong foundation that is crucial to achieving high levels of success.  Because of programs such as these and others, Le Tourneau University has been highly ranked as one of the top ten Christian universities in the whole nation by About.com.</p>
<p>Le Tourneau provides distance learning programs to cater to students that wish to continue their education but do not have the facility or ability to attend on-campus classes.  Classes for online students are taken through the use of virtual classrooms. Students learn from multimedia presentations, doing assignments on the Blackboard educational platform and interacting with the instructors and fellow students.  Students have the provision to access all their course material online at anytime based on their convenience.   They are also provided reference material from the school’s online library.  Students can earn their degrees at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in majors, such as Management, Business Administration and Marketing among many others.</p>
<p>In the modern society, where Christian values are not taught as they were previously, it is an impressive task that is taken up by the Le Tourneau University.  They have made it part of their curriculum, ensuring that students learn the values of life along with the traditional education.  This prepares students that graduate from this university to handle all aspects of their lives in the most appropriate manner; their professional lives and the personal lives.  The awards and recognition achieved by this university are proof of the value associated to the culture and education imparted by the school.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Lesley University believes in imparting education that moulds students into being successful professionals and responsible individuals.  Students are taught the invaluable lesson of belonging to a community and sharing their success with others as this is what makes them good team leaders and managers in an organizational setup. The curriculum is so designed that it not only concentrates on traditional academic classroom training but provides hands-on training.  Through this education, students gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills that are essential in a competitive environment.  They are also given the opportunity to enhance their creativity, work on their critical thinking skills, think ethically and develop a lifelong love for learning.</p>

The school has taken giant leaps forward and in 40 years has reached a stage where it is now offering several undergraduate and graduate programs. The school has two campuses; one in Cambridge and the other in Boston.  If students are unable to attend these two campuses, they have the option to take up classes at any of the other 150 partner institutions that are present throughout the United States.  For others who cannot attend a regular school due to their responsibilities of work and family, they can take advantage of the school’s online program to complete their education.   </p>
<p>The school offers courses in a variety of formats to suit the specific needs of students.  Programs are available completely online, through independent study, on-campus classes, weekend classes or they even have the option of earning degrees while doing their internships.  With so many options, students have a vast choice and they can easily find one that meets their needs, irrespective of how bizarre their schedule is.</p>
<p>Students joining the online education at Lesley University can take up courses that are completely flexible and are relevant to their working experience.  They can study at their convenience without having to attend campus classes.  Faculty that teaches online students is specifically trained for this purpose and will conduct lectures, grade assignments, give homework and lead discussions – all through virtual classrooms. These interactions with the lecturers and fellow students go a long way in making online study as efficient and promising as on-campus study.   They are provided various reference materials from the library that can be accessed online at any time of the day or night.  Online programs that are currently offered are at the Master’s level.  Students can choose from many majors, such as Ecological Teaching, Science, Technology and others.</p>
<p>Lesley University understand the importance of overall growth to be able to succeed in the professional arena.  They aim to make this growth possible through imbibing the right attitude towards the community while fulfilling the educational goals of theory and practice.  Students studying at Lesley stand a better chance of becoming leaders in their fields, such as managers in organizations, where leading people as one community is essential for the success of any organization.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The mission of Iowa Central College is to fulfil the academic needs of the local community as well as the whole nation.  In order to cater to a diverse student body from different backgrounds, the school designs all the educational programs in the most affordable and flexible manner.   </p>
<p>Having come into existence in 1966, Iowa Central College is dedicated to making educational resources available to all categories of students, including students from the smaller communities of Iowa.  Previously, the school consisted of three separate junior colleges.  These colleges were later combined into one, which is a larger and more comprehensive institution.  There are three campuses in Iowa; the main campus is in Fort Dodge; two satellite campuses in Storm Lake and Webster City.   The school also introduced the facility of online degree programs for students who for their own reasons cannot attend on-campus classes.  These online classes provide several educational opportunities that people could not have dreamed of pursuing from the comfort of their homes.</p>
<p>Access to various programs of study is offered by Iowa Central, with dozens of degree programs.  With so much choice, a large percentage of students are likely to find the programs they are interested in.  Degree programs, adult education and career training programs are provided to help students get better education and a chance at improving their career opportunities.</p>
<p>Distance education programs offered by the school are numerous.  These programs give students the flexibility to study at their convenience while carrying out their responsibilities of a career and family.  All programs are flexibly designed for students to mould them according to their requirements.  </p>
<p>The FlexNet program, which is specifically designed for online students, gives them the option of beginning their 15-week classes whenever they choose to during the course of the year.  For students that are capable of handling the home study independently without instructors, the Guided Self Study program is a great option.  With this program, students are given the course material as well all the projects at the beginning of the semester, and they are expected to turn those assignments and projects in by the end of the semester.  The third option for online students is to take classes online following the same schedule set for on-campus students.  These students can use the facility of a virtual classroom to interact with the faculty.   This option is almost like going to school on a regular basis, with all the projects needing to be done and submitted within timeframes provided to the regular students.</p>
<p>With the number of options available for online students, these programs have become very popular with students who look for this flexibility.  The quality of course material is of a high standard and requires the student to pay a good deal of attention to their studies.  All the programs are designed to keep students on par with the professional requirements of the current work place.   By the end of their programs, all students are well-equipped and ready to take up challenging posts in highly competitive fields. </p>
