Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College offers its graduate-level teacher preparation programs in two online formats. Arizona residents can choose between either the asynchronous format delivered via ASU Online or a synchronous format via ASU Sync. Students who reside outside Arizona can take classes asynchronously. In both modalities, students complete professional residencies in person in schools near where they live.

“We are committed to making the excellence and quality of our graduate programs available to as many people as possible,” said Dean Carole Basile.
