Iowa State Online is dedicated to providing faculty with the support you need to succeed. From creating new online degree programs or certificates, refreshing existing programs, or finding the training you need to succeed online, we’re here to help with every step in your online journey.

Iowa State Online Process

Strategic identification of programs to receive “360-degree support” from CELT is initiated through the associate deans in each academic college. Once identified as a strategic program, our skilled Iowa State Online team provides holistic support from idea generation to program launch.

The process begins with external marketing research, providing insights into the competitive landscape and viability of your program. From there, we work with you to navigate Iowa State’s financial formula and program approval process, engage CELT instructional designers to create high-quality online courses, and then help you successfully market your program.

Iowa State Online prepares a one-stop webpage to advertise your program, provides student support to prospective students, and gives you templated marketing materials for all online degree programs.
