The diverse list of programs offered through Â鶹´«Ã½'s distance learning program has been a continued asset for the military population. What started as an efficient system of delivering lectures on tapes to military students at sea or broadcasting via satellite has grown into Â鶹´«Ã½Online, which offers more than 100 programs to students across the world.
"We're particularly proud of our ability to help military members meet their educational goals," says Andy Casiello, associate vice president for distance learning. "Our consistently high rankings and high satisfaction among our military-affiliated students proves our commitment to teaching our men and women in uniform, no matter where they serve."
