Take courses at the University of Minnesota - from across town, across the country, or across the world!

Choose from a wide selection of printed and online courses in many subjects. It is not possible to earn a bachelor's degree entirely through Independent and Distance Learning. But you can:

• Complete some of the course credits you need for your degree.
• Enroll in a single course without needing to apply and be accepted to a University degree or certificate program!
• Study at a time and location that is convenient for you.

Choose from a wide selection of printed and online courses in many subjects. Many courses have an extended term, which allows you to work at your own pace for up to nine months.

Credits earned through Independent and Distance Learning are recorded on your University of Minnesota transcript and are equivalent to credits earned on campus.
