Distance Education

K-State has been giving Kansans-and now, the world!-the very best formal distance education since 1974. And in fact, from the earliest days of the 20th century, when an evening with the radio tuned to K-State broadcasts was required listening for farm families across the state, K-State has a great track record of providing education to people when and where they need it.

You can take courses when and where it’s convenient for you-over the Internet or on CD, over your lunch hour or on a plane, early in the morning or late at night. We are committed to responding to student needs in our course offerings, services, and methods of delivering courses.

We know you have a lot of options today when it comes to online learning. We hope that K-State’s long and distinguished history will factor into your decision, because we know what we’re doing when it comes to distance education!

K-State distance education students report many benefits, including:

  • The ability to complete coursework over the lunch hour, on the weekends or when the kids are in bed
  • The prospect of finishing a degree that life may have derailed for a time or working toward a certificate in specialized area.
  • The possibility for an entirely new career direction
  • The opportunity to partner on projects with classmates from all over the country or the world
  • The chance to be an amazing role model for your kids as they see you set-and achieve-your goals

Distance education takes a certain amount of dedication, self-direction and perseverance. While flexibility is a huge benefit of distance education, successful distance students also understand that their education is their responsibility. Take this quiz to determine whether you’re a good potential distance education student. We’re betting you are!
