The ILPS Department uses Internet technologies as essential tools for building
and enhancing the student’s learning. Antioch University McGregor’s
FirstClass® Intranet system, which may be accessed via standard Internet
service providers, provides students with the ability to accomplish the
following tasks:
- Communicate with each other
and with their advisors
- Conduct official communication
with administrative offices,
- Discuss assignments and
current issues,
- Obtain information on academic
policies and processes,
- Identify learning resources,
- Participate in online courses,
and
- Obtain and submit course
assignments.
Because the Internet is essential to
the ILPS learning experience, students are required to have access to
a computer that can connect to the Internet with a web browser. Students
should consult with the Information Services Department for recommended
hardware and software specifications.
I was so lucky to have found a program that sees the dignity of its students' commitments to family and career, as well as their educational goals. Designing my own master's was hard work, but well worth the effort. My experience at McGregor showed me how individualized learning is one of the best and most personal approaches to education. I am now prepared for the next step in my life, studying the history of women and religion at the doctoral level.
