University of Louisville wins the 2015 SANsational Award for outstanding efforts in developing high-quality solutions to state authorization challenges.authorized

The University of Louisville (UofL) is the proud recipient of the WCET SANsational Award for excellent work in addressing out-of-state students’ location. UofL is one of the four winners across three state authorization regulatory categories: Student Location; Institutional Authorization – notifications and disclosures; and Licensure Programs – notifications and disclosures.

The State Authorization Network (SAN) within WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies (WCET) has evaluated all SAN member institutions on their work and recognized a select few for creating and presenting innovative and effective solutions addressing the issues and challenges of the state authorization regulations in higher education. Their applied concepts, approaches and processes will establish the foundation and industry-wide best practices in meeting the needs of regulators, institutions and students.

The Delphi Center for Teaching and Learning worked in partnership with the Office of Academic Programs and Accountability, UofL SACS liaison, and associate deans to design a thorough process to identify UofL students’ state of residence, from initial inquiry to their start each academic term.

The detailed data reports and frequent communication with the stakeholders helped UofL monitor the volume of educational activity outside the state of Kentucky and take immediate necessary action to address compliance issues. “As the University of Louisville and the Delphi Center strive for excellence, we are constantly looking for ways to implement new strategies to enhance processes so that we become the industry model in addressing state authorization,” said Gale Rhodes, Associate Provost and Executive Director of the Delphi Center for Teaching and Learning, who leads the state authorization compliance efforts.

“The recipients of the SANsational Awards demonstrate creativity and commitment to compliance,” said Sharyl Thompson, CEO, Higher Education Regulatory (HER) Consulting, and chair, SANsational Awards committee. “They are great examples of how institutions are managing their state authorization work.”

By |

Using data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), OnlineColleges.net compiled and published a list of the 63 most affordable online colleges in Kentucky for 2015. The University of Louisville finished high on the list, ranking 12th in the state for affordable online degree programs.

To qualify for consideration, colleges had to officially be accredited, not-for-profit schools, and offer a wide variety of online programs. Tuition rates were calculated based on an annual average of published tuition costs, with UofL coming in at an estimated cost of $11,592 in annual tuition, or $483 per credit.

The University of Louisville’s high ranking is significant, given the prestigious and nationally-acclaimed quality of education being offered through UofL’s online learning programs. With tuition rates at four-year universities in Kentucky coming in significantly lower than the national average, UofL brings the opportunity for an affordable, world-class online education from a large university to both local and distance learning students.

Some of the other colleges on the OnlineColleges.net listing are smaller schools located in smaller towns in Kentucky. UofL’s online programs are designed and led by a vast team of expert faculty who are closely involved with cutting-edge local research, as well as thriving businesses, within the largest city in the state. The ability to both teach and work within this large urban environment gives UofL faculty an intimate level of professional knowledge on the subject matters they present – with their students as the beneficiaries.

Ranked as the #1 Social Work program in Kentucky, and touted as a top-ranked program by US News & World Report, the online MSSW program at UofL’s Kent School was awarded the #3 spot in the nation due to educational excellence in the areas of online education, enrollment flexibility, accessibility for students regardless of geographic location, and having an Advanced Standing option in place for those students already holding a bachelor’s degree in social work.

The program is open to all candidates currently holding a bachelor’s degree.

Within the online MSSW program, multiple areas of specialization are available for students to choose from, including Psychosocial Oncology, Mental Health, Alcohol and Drug Counseling, Military Social Work, and Gerontology. The online curriculum is focused on facilitating practices that support and promote social justice. In addition to the online courses, the degree also has a real-world learning component, which involves hands-on instruction, performed in a student’s approved location of choice. This provides invaluable field experience to online students, enabling them to acquire hands-on opportunties in their own communities.

The #3 ranking in the country, as given by the Social Work Degree Guide, is an honor, and speaks to the dynamic quality of the MSSW offered at UofL’s Kent School.
