What Is Distance Education?


Distance education brings together students and teachers separated by geographical distance.  Many distance education programs operate online, allowing quality student-teacher interaction through live forums, chat, and e-mail.

Distance education offers a wide range of accredited degrees, including online MBA’s, teaching certification, and Bachelor’s degrees in everything from Information Technology to the humanities degrees.

Why Distance Education?


Learn on your time.  Online education allows you to study when you have time—from early morning to late at night.

No long commute.  Your classroom is as close as your living room or home office.

Keep your job; take care of your family.  You don’t have to give up important responsibilities to pursue an online education.

Learn where you live.  No need to relocate in pursuit of your degree.

Save money. You’ll save on room and board, classroom supplies, transportation costs, and more.
