Abstract
The success of an online program is dependent upon the development of competent faculty who meet or exceed expectations specific to the online learning environment. This in turn impacts the success and overall satisfaction of an online program’s student population. It has been determined that development beyond the initial hiring and training phases is vital to the success and retention of first term faculty members. The Purdue University Global Graduate Psychology Department has been implementing a comprehensive, program level faculty development program for 1 year. A review of the program components and current supporting literature will be presented along with qualitative and quantitative data related to outcomes, progress and growth of the program. The importance of evolving at the programmatic level to meet the changing needs of faculty, students and the university will be explored.
