The Naval Postgraduate School Space Systems Academic Group is proud to announce the offering of a Masters of Science in Space Systems Operations (MSSSO) via Distributed Learning (DL) beginning the week of September 24, 2007. The MSSO-DL degree program is limited to 25 students and is open to all qualified uniformed officers, federal employees and Defense contractor civilians.
The MS Space Systems Operations (MSSSO-DL) distributed learning degree is an accredited 24-month, part-time program delivered using a combination of asynchronous web-based courses (ONLINE) and synchronous video tele-education (VTE) courses. The web-based courses are paced week-to-week by the instructors, but students have great flexibility to do their coursework at times of their choosing during each week. The VTE classes can be taken using a dial up video tele-conferencing unit with ISDN high speed phone line connection or IP over the Internet using Eluminate. To use Eluminate, the student must have Internet access with a PC camera and microphone. The attached MSSSO-DL September 2007-2009 curriculum lineup of courses identifies the classes and modes of delivery.
Students in the MSSSO-DL degree program meet the same degree requirements as on-campus students. If a candidate student has completed the NPS Space Systems certificate then they have already completed three of the required courses for the MSSSO-DL program. The open enrollment tuition price is $1750 per course (not including textbooks). Attached is a MSSSO-DL tuition letter that provides instructions on payment options.
