Through this TeleCenter Network, adults can complete college-level credit courses and degree programs while continuing to work. Staff training is presented to support the University of Missouri Outreach and Extension mission. Links are forged with local and state organizations and businesses to instructors and other students across the state of Missouri. TeleCenter Programs Programs can be categorized in several ways. Credit programs refer to college credit as opposed to non-credit programs.
Students attend programs leading to a certificate or diploma.
Single course offerings are not attractive to potential students. TeleCenters will be best at providing focused technical programs including master degrees and technology training. Potential audience candidates for programs at the Southern TeleCenter have been identified through surveys to determine local needs. The savings to state travel budgets would pay for ITV programming many times over. The potential for saving tax dollars, employee imposition, and time is phenomenal.
