No on-campus requirements
And in 2014, NOBTS trustees approved the removal of on-campus requirements for distance learning degrees, so students can receive their degree while studying solely at an extension center.
“This is big news for our extension center students,” said Gary Myers, director of public relations at NOBTS. “They no longer have to complete any courses on the main campus unless they choose to do so.”
