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.
