Establish External Programs

An external degree program is defined as an organized curriculum leading to a degree offered in its entirety by a System institution at an off-campus site or via distance education. The Board of Regents recognizes two categories of external offerings: off-campus instruction and distance education. Off-campus instruction is defined as traditional face-to-face classroom instruction that occurs at a location away from the home premises of the institution. Distance education is defined as a formal educational process in which the majority of the instruction occurs when a student and instructor are not in the same place and the instruction is delivered using technology. [Board of Regents Policy Manual, Section 303.03]
