Distance Education Office
Indiana State University offers a variety of educational opportunities through distance education for both graduate and undergraduate work in single course or full degree program formats. These distance education courses are offered on-line via the Internet. A few, however, may require minimal visits to the ISU campus.
Distance courses:
- Are the full equivalent of our campus programs,
- Receive the same accreditation as campus programs, and
- Are taught by ISU faculty.
ISU, however, provides special resources for distance education students, including help with admission, registration, and financial aid. For specific details, visit the program’s Web site at http://www.indstate.edu/distance; contact the office’s services via email at ISU-distancestudent@mail.indstate.edu; or for admissions questions contact the Office of Admissions toll free at 800-GO-TO-ISU, or via e-mail at admissions@indstate.edu.
