“NC State University has a 40 year history of providing distance education programs to professional engineers. Much has changed during these years in terms of delivery of courses and degree programs available. What has not changed is the quality and integrity of the engineering programs offered. There is no difference in the courses offered or the degree in terms of course and degree requirements, and no on-campus attendance is required. Students can complete a degree while working full time.”
