Distance Education
Distance education is an increasingly popular way to study for everything from a short professional course to a graduate degree in the U.S. Students no longer attend classes; instead, classes are delivered "from a distance" through the use of Internet, satellite television, video conferencing, and other means of electronic delivery. For international students this means that they can study for an U.S. degree without leaving their home country.
