RIT's Distance Learning Program

Most colleges and universities have distance learning departments that are featured on the school's website. There are a model distance learning department at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) which has been offering distance learning courses to students for more than 20 years.

To get to the RIT's distance learning section on the web, log on to http://www.rit.edu/ and click the links Prospective Students and then Distance Learning. The direct URL is http://distancelearning.rit.edu/.

According to the RIT, the distance learning courses have the same objectives, rigorous workload, tuition, and academic credit as on-campus courses. Currently, RIT offers eight graduate degrees, three graduate certificates, three undergraduate degrees, and nine undergraduate certificates, all at a distance. Students can enroll in a single course, multiple courses, or in a complete degree or certificate program.

To get an idea of how RIT provides distance learning courses to its students- which is similar to that of most colleges and universities- click the Programs and Courses link in the left sidebar. Go to the Select a Link pull-down menu and select Q&A. It will shows a page that explains exactly how to register for and take a typical distance learning course at RIT.
