Distance Programs

UAS Ketchikan offers many courses to students locally that are actually taught from another University of Alaska campus. UAS Ketchikan also offers courses to students outside Ketchikan. These are called distance courses.

Distance courses are designed to meet the needs of busy students. The student is often responsible for additional assignments. There is often less interaction time with faculty. Distance courses require good time management skills.

Distance courses are delivered by audio conference, satellite, online, or in some cases through video conference.  Some courses use a combination of the delivery methods and will require students to have access to computers with internet availability.  Please refer to each class requirement before registering to ensure you have the proper equipment to take a class that is designated as distance.
