What is the difference
between taking a correspondence course and a distance

UND saw a need to bring programs and courses to Fargo that can be offered in
the evenings, online or by correspondence. UND wants a physical presence
here in order to serve our Fargo area students better.
The courses offered may be mail-in correspondence, online courses, IVN conferences
and some face-to-face programs. IVN and face-to-face courses are offered
in the evenings and on weekends.
Taking a course from UND can further your career by getting certified, earning
a masters or doctorate degree or earning Continuing Education Credits. Many
correspondence courses can be taken just to expand your horizons or find
a new area of interest.
If you email us with the area you are interested in, we will store that information.
We use that information to determine if there is enough interest to offer
a program. Please email us with your interests, so that we can better serve
the FM area.
Yes, for example, if you have 10 credits on campus and you take a 2 credit
class by correspondence, your total credits will equal 12. This will enable
you to achieve full time status for financial aid purposes.
There are two main differences. First of all, correspondence courses are undergraduate
courses only. These classes can lead to a Bachelor of General Studies, a
Bachelor of Arts in Social Science or may complete an existing degree that
you may have started at another institution. Distance Degree courses are
primarily designed as a full degree that can be completed from a distance.
They offer Bachelor, Masters and Doctoral degrees.
