THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE OF NYU-POLY Summer 2009

Launches Eight New Programs
Learning. “ePoly gives our alumni an
opportunity to expand their horizons and
knowledge for professional growth.”
Online learning began at Polytechnic
in 2004 as ePoly. Since then, hundreds of
students have earned their master’s degrees,
some entirely online. NYU-ePoly courses
are delivered by the same faculty who teach
on campus using the same syllabus found in
the classroom.
“ePoly gives our alumni
an opportunity to
expand their horizons
and knowledge for
professional growth.”
The Power of PolyThinking is just
a click away in your home or
office.
NYU-Poly will more than double its
online high-tech graduate degrees this fall
adding eight new programs to the seven
currently online in its newly launched
e-learning unit, NYU-ePoly. Twenty online
programs will be offered by the Office

executive programs in sustainability, clean
energy, technical communications, and
technical leadership.
Stepping up virtual classes dramatically,

Monica Gonzalez ’08OB lives in Costa
Rica and was able to earn her master’s
degree from NYU-Poly completely online.
“It was an awesome experience,” she
exclaimed. “I was just one click away from
my professors, the material they offered,
and the wide variety of materials that the
e-library offers. This degree has opened a
lot of doors for me to develop my career in
human resources.”
