What Students Say About DE “I’m taking distance classes because it allows me to pursue a Graduate degree while working full time. I can work on my class anytime from home or during my lunch time and I can avoid the drive over to campus. This saves me time and gas cost.” - C.L., Graduate Student
What Students Say About DE “The reason I really like the online program is that is saves a LOT of time. Since I work 30 hours a week, am a full-time student and have two little ones, time is a very precious commodity. The online program helps me save time by allowing me to schedule my study and online attendance according to my own schedule. Really, how many classes are offered at 4 am in the morning?” - L.C., Graduate Student
Selected DE Flexible Access Student Survey Comments – Spring 2009 What changes would you like to see in the way NC State provides distance education programs and services? • “My only wish is that there were more classes to choose from.” • “Please maintain your distance education programs. This is so much help to individuals living far away from the campus and working full-time jobs.” • “It has been an excellent experience. Not only is it convenient but I personally learn more than in-class education.”
