Those efficiently serving working adults with family obligations who need to compete in an evolving and highly educated economy have prospered. Other colleges have followed suit. The Public Broadcasting Service collaborates with local colleges to offer a variety of widely accepted college credit courses. Students watch televised courses and complete reading, homework assignments, and papers at home, meeting with a college instructor every few weeks to monitor progress. Some colleges develop their own televised or videotaped instruction.
Students do the same work as if on-campus, including exams and term papers.
M.B.A. About five years ago, Tracy Smith left the big city to take an accounting job with Homer Electric in Homer, Alaska. Later on, Tracy Smith again thought about advancing her education.

Most students take two and one half years or more.
