Distance learning courses offer greater scheduling flexibility for students who work full time or those who can not fit campus-based classes into their busy schedules.  

Using the internet and other technologies, instructors provide students with an education from the convenience of their home, a learning center or the workplace. Distance learning courses may be synchronous - same time, same location - or asynchronous - any time, any location. They are designed for mature, disciplined students who are able to work independently and complete coursework on time.
