What Type of Institutions
Offer Distance Education?
The institutions that offer distance education programs are
almost as varied as the programs themselves. Programs are
available through traditional U.S. colleges and universities,
"virtual" universities, two-year junior or community
colleges, and professional bodies, as well as through private
corporations and other organizations. Virtual universities
offer no campus-based programs at all; every program they
run is a distance education program. The number of virtual
universities is increasing all the time, and most hold the
same kind of accreditation as traditional, campus-based institutions.
