If a student has not completed an associate's degree or is lacking required freshman or sophomore courses, they have an opportunity to take those classes concurrently at their community college while participating in the BSBE degree program. Two core BVTE courses are offered each semester including summer semester. The program was designed to take advantage of present Internet technology. Courses are delivered via the Internet. ECU faculty set up all the files and assignment activities on the server for transmission.
Students download class assignments and upon completion transfer files back to the university.
The primary Internet tools used include a web browser, an e-mail server, an FTP server, and a RealMedia video and audio server.
