Programs and Degrees

Distance Education Degrees or Distance Education Certificate programs are defined as a program in which a student may complete more than one-half of the semester credit hours required for the program through a combination of distance education courses. If considering a program that requires a professional license, reach out to the appropriate licensing agent to verify acceptance from Texas A&M University.
 

Courses

Texas A&M University defines distance education courses as a course in which the majority of the instruction (interaction between students and instructors and among students) occurs when students and instructors are not in the same physical setting.

Students who are not enrolled in an approved distance education program cannot take more than 50% of their required courses online.
