The MPH Program recognizes that offering distance education is important to improving accessibility
to students outside the Omaha metropolitan area. While the MPH degree is not offer fully as an on-line
or distance learning program, the core courses and most of the concentration courses are available
via either live-video-streaming or as an on-line course.
The standard modality of distance education for the MPH program is Live Video-Streaming.
Live Video-Streaming is audio and video streamed in real time to currently enrolled student(s) anywhere
who have a broadband Internet connection and a computer system. The student is given access to the video
stream and will hear and see the class just like being there in person. The video and audio are both
one-way. If the student would like interaction with class, he/she can be connected via telephone to
the classroom.
