I know I'm late...still trying to catch up on over a month's worth of
PICList email. I know the University of North Dakota used to have a
distance program. It was unique when I checked it out as they are a
state school (I think), and the degree is the same as any other from a
brick and mortar school. They way it worked was that you did all your
coursework through distance, then you were required to show up
physically at the school during the summer and do a few days worth of
labwork per course.

I never go around to signing up (mainly due to time and money), but someday...
