The Boston Graduate School of Business

Distributive Learning

Distributive learning describes the method through which the Boston Graduate School of Business connects its students with faculty and knowledge worldwide.   BGSB students and faculty live in the U.S., Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, Asia, and Oceania.

In order to create a robust learning experience, and facilitate the exchange of ideas and knowledge, BGSB uses an advanced proprietary platform that helps our students, administrations and faculty share knowledge, ideas, and concepts.  Students benefit from a truly global team of Ivy League educated scholars and business professionals who bring vast experience to each course.

Distributive learning is often associated with distance education. However, the term distance education implies that an individual is located a great distance from a source of knowledge, while the source itself is central. BGSB asserts that knowledge is universal and that students and business professionals can, and should, make use of its many benefits, regardless of location.

There is no empirical evidence supporting the notion that academic knowledge is obtained best face-to-face. By contrast, individuals tend to learn best when they can focus on their studies in a flexible manner that is consistent with their other responsibilities.  What matters most in the learning process is interaction between students and faculty; the desire of the student to learn; the students’ capacity for intellectual growth; and the quality of the faculty.
