Online learning — or e-learning — has gone from being fairly uncommon to fairly widespread over the past five years. But, a quick look at the list of universities offering online courses reveals that it’s mostly second and third tier schools that have entered the online market, and generally not leading colleges and universities. At some point, we’ll get around to discussing why the leaders have largely balked at the prospect of going online. But, for today, our mission is to highlight some instances in which leading schools have started experimenting with e-learning, and we’ll grow this list over time. Let’s start with 10 examples.
- Columbia University – Teachers College
- Through this program geared for educators, you can obtain online certificates in the following areas: Teaching and Learning with Technology, Designing Interactive Multimedia Instruction, & Cognition and Technology. Click for more info.
- Duke University – Executive MBA
- Duke’s Fuqua School of Business offers an Executive MBA program that takes place mostly online. (Note: the program does also include short visits to campus.) The expectation is that you’d spend 15-25 hours per week using Internet-enabled technology to complete your coursework.

- MIT – System Design and Management
- Sponsored by MIT’s Sloan School of Management and the School of Engineering, the SDM program lasts 24 months and culminates in a Master of Science degree in Engineering and Management.
