Distance learning students are bound together by shared interest and work. Typically, a class of distance learning students meets once a week for three hours. Significant reading and work assignments are required during the week. Between weekly classes, instructors often exchange work with students using electronic mail or computer file transfers. Most semesters, distance learning students take two courses.
Distance learning is different.
You will probably become close to the people taking courses at the same site as you. You will develop relationships from regular interaction through compressed video and computer communication. For most businesses these are tools of tomorrow, but they will be part of your life if you use the distance learning option. The spirit of the American West provides a model for entrepreneurs, investment bankers and creative managers throughout the world. This spirit is very much part of the University of Wyoming's heritage as we prepare graduates to face the business frontiers of tomorrow.
