Higher education has undergone a radical transformation through the use of technology, including the offering of online courses and degrees. However, programs with fieldwork-based components that require students to demonstrate application of adult learning principles by performing specific skills in clinical settings face unique challenges. This study examined three programs that have established online designs with the purpose of identifying effective practices for facilitating successful implementation of fieldwork components in online graduate degree programs. Knowledge gained from this study can provide guidance for institutions seeking to diversify their graduate student base, increase flexibility for students, and become more competitive in today's marketplace by implementing an innovative online curriculum design.
