regarding distance education. top
Can
I take any course I want?
As when taking a face-to-face course, when taking
distance learning courses, if you meet recognized
general requirements (i.e., have a high school
diploma or GED to take an undergraduate level course
and a bachelor’s degree to take a graduate
level course) and meet any prerequisite requirements,
you may take any course you want. If you are planning
to complete a degree program, you need to be sure
your home institution will accept the credit and
that the course will meet whatever requirement
you are seeking to fulfill. top
