Distance Education at IUP consists of Web-based (online) undergraduate and graduate courses that enable you to participate in learning from any location with your computer and Internet access.
If you are unable to attend class on campus because of your work schedule, family responsibilities, travel time, or many other obstacles, Distance Education is for you. Freedom to engage in course activities any time of the day or night offers you flexibility in your schedule.
Students may communicate with their professors, classmates, and advisor and may actively participate in learning and research. Assigned readings are found on designated Web pages, the library’s online journal articles, or textbooks, which are mailed to students.
