Undergraduate and graduate degrees remotely--not by telephone or correspondence, however.
Via the Internet. On-screen interactivity with instructors and classmates in real time.
Not too many years ago, the only way to avoid campus residency was to snail-mail essays, completed tests, etc. to schools with questionable academic reputations.
Today virtually every accredited university and college has Internet classes, even full-blown online majors.
Some charter elementary and high schools even offer online studies, allowing challenged students to have classroom experiences and interaction.
Important tests are usually proctored and taken at a nearby school for students without physical challenges.
Sailors at sea, inmates in prison, workers on ocean oil rigs, seniors at convalescent homes--all now have access to educational opportunities. (3 MAY 2015)
