Section VI
The University's central location in northern Minnesota, plus the changing lifestyles of many people within the service region, have underscored the demand for expanded academic options. Looking beyond the confines of the physical campus setting, the Center for Extended Learning is designed to provide learning resources and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all of its constituents.
Offerings range from liberal education courses to innovative undergraduate and graduate degree programs brought to outlying areas. Students have the option to attend courses, workshops, and institutes; to study individually in their homes; or to enroll in courses offered for credit via interactive television or online.
Extension courses include BSU curriculum courses and other offerings, such as workshops, conferences, and study abroad, that do not take place on the BSU main campus. For a semester listing of Extension offerings, contact the Center for Extended Learning. Extension credits are semester credits earned at off-campus locations and are considered residence credits.
Guided/Self-Directed Study courses provide an opportunity for individuals to complete courses primarily through self-study. A variety of formats are used. Enrollment in these courses requires self-discipline and places significant responsibility on the learner. Guided/Self-Directed Study courses may be used to supplement other off-campus program offerings and acquire Liberal Education courses. These offerings are considered Bemidji State University residence credits.
Selected majors and minors are available through Guided/Self-Directed Study, and course offerings vary each semester. Please check with the Center for Extended Learning to confirm offerings.
Online courses are designed to be offered on the Internet. Online courses are accessed through your Web browser, at the time and place of your choosing with occasional synchronous online discussions. At the instructor’s discretion, you may interact with the instructor and other students through online chat rooms, newsgroups, and email. Contact the Center for Extended Learning for a schedule of online course offerings.
