Online and Distance Learning
World-class education available when and where you want it!
Take courses at the University of Minnesota — from across town, across the country, or across the world!
Choose from a wide selection of online and distance courses in many subjects to help you:
- Complete your degree online or partially online.
- 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.
Many courses have an extended term, which allows you to work at your own pace for up to nine months. Other courses follow a semester schedule and are not self-paced.
Credits earned through Online and Distance Learning are recorded on your University of Minnesota transcript and are equivalent to credits earned on campus.
