This school has been a pioneer in nontraditional education and has sought to serve the diverse needs of students in a variety of ways and places. Distance Learning Park University continues to develop innovative methods of teaching. Existing courses from the Park University catalog are now being converted into the new formats. These programs have been approved by the Commission of Higher Education and North Central Association. Students must have access to the Internet to take these courses.
Instructors are in constant contact with students through classroom threads and assignments.
Students interact with other students via threads. Students attend a class in a traditional manner at selected sites and have two-way audio and video contact with a home campus instructor. The link between the classrooms are made using telephone lines. A CD-ROM course has been developed for those students unable to attend regular class sessions. This format is especially attractive to those students on military deployment.
