Distance Learning Courses

Off-Campus and Interactive Video
Missouri State University brings quality instruction to students throughout southwest Missouri at various locations. Faculty for these courses are regular Missouri State University faculty who commute from the Springfield Campus or who use the latest technology by teaching via BearNet, or qualified instructors from the local community who have been approved by appropriate academic departments as having areas of special expertise. Locations include Branson, Joplin, Lebanon, Mountain Grove, Neosho, Nevada, West Plains, and other locations. Also refer to the Missouri Virtual School Program offered through the College of Natural and Applied Sciences.

Telecourses and Interactive Telecourses
Telecourses allow students the opportunity to take classes from within their own homes. These courses are ideal for the independent learner who, due to job or family commitments, may not have the time to come on-campus on a regular basis.

Missouri State Online (Internet-based)
Imagine taking college courses and earning credit without ever leaving your home or office! All you need is a computer, a modem, and an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to access your classes. No more commutes to campus, rearranging your busy schedule, fighting for a parking space, or finding a baby-sitter!

Intersession Courses
Coordinates Intersession courses, which are short, intensive credit courses offered in three different periods of the year, between the regular academic semesters.

EC/ISI Partnership Courses
The Extended Campus/ISI Partnership Courses expands professional development opportunities to educators across and outside the service area while attracting extramural funding to support professional development through the ISI. ISI also develops and implements management plans focused on student achievement, expanding opportunities for more directly relevant professional development to more school districts.

Off-Campus High School Dual Credit Courses
Through the Pre-College Dual Credit program, qualified high school students are able to enroll in specifically approved classes taught in their local high schools during normal high school hours. They receive “dual credit,” i.e., both high school and university credit for their work. Dual credit gives motivated, college bound high school students the opportunity to get a “jump start” on college by earning college credit before attending on a full-time basis.
