CSC greatly expands its distance delivery courses
Access to Chadron State College academic programs has been greatly expanded for this fall. Sixteen programs can now be completed through the college’s distance delivery system. Several are fully accessible over the Internet while others are blended online and with self-study correspondence.
“Several of our programs can be completed anywhere in the world where Internet connections are available,” said Steve Taylor, assistant vice president of extended campus programs. “This is a big help for many who are seeking a college degree, but are unable to study on a college campus.”
Undergraduate majors available entirely through distance learning are General Business, Information Resource Management, Mathematics and Psychology. Minors available are Applied Statistics, Business, History, Information Resource Management, Library Information Management, Math and Psychology.
Endorsements are available in Library Media Specialist and Math.
On the graduate level, Chadron State now has master’s degrees available via distance learning in Mathematics and Business Administration.
Taylor said the latter program is designed for working professionals who wish to earn an MBA. The courses needed to complete the degree will be available online in eight-week segments. Two or three courses will be offered each eight weeks and repeated on a rotating basis. The courses are not sequenced, meaning an individual can begin the coursework at the start of any of the eight-week periods.
Those who do not hold a bachelor’s degree in business will have to take some prerequisite courses before they can complete the MBA, Taylor said.
Taylor noted that Chadron State is also offering master’s degrees in elementary and secondary education entirely online with the exception of two two-week courses that must be taken on campus during one summer.
In addition, Chadron State will offer more than 30 courses in Scottsbluff this fall and at least 15 in Alliance, North Platte and Sidney over its interactive television system. Chadron State courses both on and off campus will begin the week of Monday, Aug. 22.
