Southern Polytechnic State University has been offering its Master of Science in Quality Assurance Degree at its campus outside of Atlanta in Marietta, Georgia since 1992. In 1997, SPSU began offering the same graduate level college degree over the Internet using distance learning technology. Since then many students from the around the world have earned a graduate degree from our nationally recognized, accredited university using the computer in their home or office.

Due to the popularity of our Internet courses, most classes are available only over the Internet.

The majority of our instructors are PhD's with several years of work experience in the field. They can answer questions about theory AND practice, because they've been there, done that.

Our courses deal with Quality topics in depth, stressing theory and the assumptions behind the techniques. That is what separates our education approach from certification training seminars. Our graduates know the details behind techniques, allowing them to know what to do when assumptions are violated (which happens a lot in the real world), and helping them to evaluate the relative merits of "new" quality tools. A lot of what is touted as new is just a repackaging of tried and true methods, with maybe a novel twist.

Our student body is also a rich source of knowledge: our typical student is 38 years old with 14 years of work experience. They are quality engineers, managers and directors who share their experience via discussion boards and live chats within the class environment. Students represent government agencies, the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries and the service sector, as well as traditional manufacturing industries.
