K-STATE DISTANCE EDUCATION ENROLLMENT CURRENTLY UNDER WAY FOR SUMMER 2007

MANHATTAN -- The Division of Education at Kansas State University is currently enrolling students for distance education courses offered during summer 2007.

Through the Division of Continuing Education, K-State offers 24 distance degree programs, hundreds of courses and many certificate programs.

For more than 30 years, K-State has offered courses and degrees for people who are not able to come to campus, leave a current job or who don't wish to uproot their family.

For summer 2007, K-State will offer a new master's degree program in community development. This program is designed for community leaders, practitioners and for those committed to people and places.

"We are always pleased to add new courses and programs as we continually seek to meet people's educational needs," said David Stewart, assistant dean of continuing education. "K-State continues to be a leader among institutions that offer quality distance education programs."

Distance education courses offered by K-State use a variety of delivery methods, including the Web, CD-ROM, audiotape, Telenet 2, multimedia, videotape and guided study.

"From the homemaker to the traveling executive to the employee seeking advancement, our creative uses of technology enable us to deliver courses to the student whenever and wherever they are needed," Stewart said.
