Distance Learning

Each year an estimated three million Americans study to improve themselves and to get ahead. They study by distance education because they have found it to be a practical, convenient, and an economical way to get the kind of training and education they want. Distance education institutions provide a second opportunity to many who have not acquired all of the education they need and who, for many reasons, are unable to take advantage of residential educational opportunities.

Location, income, working hours, age, and educational background provide no barriers for serious, motivated distance study students. They may be recently arrived immigrants, high school dropouts, or young mothers who find it impossible to attend a class.

Distance education students can progress at their own pace—as fast as they can master the assignments or as slowly as their schedule permits. They neither get behind their classmates nor have to wait for them to catch up. A distance education student masters each assignment. There is no skipping or evasion. Classroom competition is eliminated. Correspondence/distance education is not for everyone. Distance study demands investments of personal time and commitment. Since 1875, more than 100 million Americans have enrolled in distance education courses. If you have determined that distance study is the right choice for you, you are already on the way to realizing your educational goals.
