>The following are answers to the most frequently asked questions about 
>the Master of Health Physics Program at Illinois Institute of Technology.
>
>
>
>1. Tuition is $625 per credit hour for the Internet-on-demand course.
>
>2. Basic harwdare requirements for the Internet-on-demand courses are:
>	100 MHz Pentium-class processor (Cyrix 6x86, AMD K5 for example)

>	28.8K baud modem
>	Supported sound card and speakers
>	15" SVGA monitor
>Computers of this kind cost from $1,100 to $1,800 depending on the supplier. 
>It is probably possible to successfully work with somewhat lower capability
>hardware but this is sure to be OK.
>
>3. A local Internet Service Provider (ISP) or direct connection to the
>Internet through your place of employment.
>
>4. We require attendance at IIT for only one course.  Right now it is a
>short course with the format undetermined.  It might be 2 weekends or one
>full week at IIT.  The reason we do this is that we have designed this
>program for the professional who is already working in the health Physics
>field and therefore has experience with the instruments used in the
>profession and access to experimental equipment at their workplace.
>
>5. We believe that, although new, our program has some very unique aspects
>which will benefit the Health Physicist.  These include courses in
>Technical Writing, Organizational Psychology and Statutes, Standards and
>Regulations.
>
>6. Students who take the course via Internet will be subscribed to a
>closed newsgroup or mailing list which will serve as a forum for
>discussion of the course with the Instructor.  In this way, students have
>the opportunity to ask questions and obtain feedback in a relatively short
>time frame. 
>
>7. Our application fee is $30.  With a Quick Admit, you do not have to
>provide all the letters of recommendation and GRE scores until later in
>the first year of study.
>
>8. IIT has a deferred tuiton payment plan for employees of companies whose
>employers offer reimburement plans.  This plan permits students to delay
>payment of the current semester until 60 days from the end ot the
>semester.  This plan requires:
>	1. Completion of Deferment Plan Application every semester.
>	   The deadline for the fall 1997 semester is Sept. 19, 1997.
>
>	2. A letter from the employer stating the reimbursement policy.
