The College of Business at Iowa State has added business analytics as a new program for both graduate and undergraduate students.Danny Johnson, associate dean of undergraduate programs, described what synchronous and asynchronous courses are and how graduates will be involved in these online courses. “Asynchronous courses are traditional online courses where a professor is not present,” Johnson said. “Synchronous online courses are when the professor is live in front of a camera while students are behind the cameras of their computers.” Although Spalding said online courses will be the most used medium of communication, students will meet one week at the beginning, middle and end of the prospective 21-month graduate program for a three-credit course. The synchronous and asynchronous courses give the graduates experience as working professionals. On the other hand, the week-long and in-person meetings give the students opportunities to build cohorts as teams and develop relationships to solve analytic concerns.
