From the Volante Online:
While USD's increased enrollment came primarily from the larger than usual freshman class, the flexibility distance education affords has also helped to raise student numbers. This year, 2,271 students are participating in distance education, increasing enrollment in the program 16 percent.
As students begin to register for classes for the spring semester, many will overlook distance learning courses
. Distance Education is offered through the Division of Continuing Education, formally known as SWES (State-Wide Educational Services). The Division of Continuing Education offers four flexible options for students to earn credits without having to be in a classroom.
Typically, distance education courses are most popular with non-traditional students who need to have a flexible schedule and may not be able to be on campus every day. Yet distance learning courses can be a positive alternative for traditional students with schedule conflicts.![iStock_000000270936Small[1].JPG](http://www.onlineuniversities-weblog.com/50226711/iStock_000000270936Small[1]-thumb.JPG)
