Albany State University to Expand Its Online Degree Offerings

Albany State University, a historically Black educational institution in Georgia, has recently announced the establishment of ASURams Global, a new strategic unit that will oversee the HBCU’s online learning and continuing education programming. ASURams Global encompasses its own dedicated administrative office, the distance learning department, and the Office of Continuing and Professional Education. In addition to Albany State University’s existing online courses, ASURams Global is working with faculty to build fully-online offerings of the university’s in-person degree programs.
