What is a correspondence course?
It is a fully accredited college course in which you learn the same information you would in a classroom, BUT you study independently with the aid of a study guide prepared by the instructor. Correspondence courses are appropriate for independent learners who can set their own deadlines. The study guide includes lecture notes, a syllabus, number of assignments, essay questions, instructions for exams or instructions for a research paper. Learning aids may include audio tapes, video tapes, and slides. TEXTBOOKS ARE USUALLY REQUIRED.
