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. By the Fall 2025 semester, leaders at the university plan to develop at least four new degree programs through ASURams Global. Additionally, the online platform plans to expand its professional education initiatives within the local community, providing an accessible education for workforce readiness and essential life skills.
“ASURams Global is focused on assessing and adapting to the needs of our students wherever they may be in the world, providing resources to guide them in their education, and promoting retention and graduation rates,” said Dr. Jean-Jacques Medastin, executive director of ASURams Global. “We understand the importance of online education today and are committed to offering our students the best possible experience through high-quality training and workshops on best practices.”
