Mission of Distance Education
Distance education at Prairie View A&M University has as its central purpose the elimination of
geographical distance as a barrier to equal access to quality courses and programs. Target populations for
the distance education program include pre-baccalaureate and graduate students, practitioners, active duty
military personnel, business professionals, and students at colleges outside Texas where curricula are
limited in specific areas. While distance delivery of the educational program is primarily to benefit the
citizens of Texas, it is extended beyond the state and nation to the extent available resources may be
allocated without compromising quality delivery of programs on campus.
Goals of Distance Education
• To promote the state’s goal of increasing the number of high school graduates in Texas who earn
college degrees.
•
To offer to distant site students courses and degree programs through varied formats at a quality level
comparable to that of offerings on the main campus at Prairie View A&M University.
•
To meet training needs of target populations including, but not limited to, practitioners; active duty
military personnel; business professionals; pre-baccalaureate and graduate students; and person in
foreign-based colleges and universities with limited college curricula.
