Distance based education simply means that the coursework is not completed on campus. This provides students and professionals the opportunity to pursue further education from any location they chose. For example, a current job may require that you live far from a city or other source that can offer traditional classroom based education. Whatever your reason is, Taft University can help you achieve your goals no matter where you want to achieve them from.

 

The main focus at Taft University is continuing education work for students who wish to obtain a Masters or Doctorate degree in fields like education and business. There are also some Undergraduate certificate programs, as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration.

Special Requirements
Because this is a distance based university, students must have reliable access to a computer and the internet. While most normal computers are more than satisfactory, potential students should take the time to review the hardware and software requirements to make sure they are able to meet them.

Coursework at Taft University is split between two different schools, the W. Edwards Deming School of Business and the Boyer Graduate School of Education
