| Statewide Virtual Networks
|
| Most states have developed, or are beginning to develop, networks of virtual learning whereby multiple colleges and/or universities have joined together to make it easier for students to locate and/or access the distance education opportunities in their state or region. We have compiled this list which includes statewide or regional virtual networks of nationally-accredited, non-profit educational institutions.
|
| These systems take on a variety of shapes and sizes and come in all forms of service delivery options. For example, some offer centralized or coordinated services to students, or have mutual articulation agreements among their members so it is easy for students to transfer credits among their participating institutions, others collaborate to create the courses their students need to complete distance learning degree programs within their network . At the very least, the organizations listed below offer a searchable online database of the distance learning courses available to their students at their member institutions. This list is a work in progress so please contact Christine Mullins if you are aware of a statewide or regional virtual network that meets the criteria above and should be included.
