Well, I just talked to someone there, and I was very surprised to hear that they require AT LEAST two on-campus visits per class per semester for all their distance learning students. That seems like a lot for a distance learning program, especially when taking into account that most people take two classes per semester. I asked the guy, "So, whom is this distance program designed for, people within 50 miles of Troy, NY?" The guy did not know what to say other than, "hmmm... sorry, sir, I don't make the rules."

I asked that someone from the actual program call me to discuss this a little further. Hopefully, I can work something out with them.

Again, thanks to all of you for your comments, and encouragement. Much obliged! :-)

Juan
