What is Distance Learning?

Distance education provides opportunities for students to experience quality education outside the classroom in a flexible setting. Rather than attending classes in a face-to-face setting, students utilize technology to communicate and complete their course work through various media. Credit may be obtained through CD’s, DVD’s, the Internet, or even on MP3 players, depending on the course and how it is offered.

Distance education is an option for students who wish to continue their education but are unable to physically attend classes at specific times due to employment, location, or family commitments.

Distance education works well for a changing student base – non-traditional students, who may need to advance existing skills for a better career opportunity or gain knowledge in a new field.

Oklahoma State University offers a number of graduate degree programs as well as undergraduate and graduate courses online. Not only does OSU offer credit programs and courses, non-credit programs and courses are available as well. Enroll in a distance learning course today and further your education!
