University expands online offerings

LARAMIE — The University of Wyoming is planning to expand its already extensive distance-learning program this spring to begin offering a completely online degree program — a bachelor’s degree in business administration.

Students now will be able to earn both their undergraduate and graduate business degrees without ever setting foot on campus, because the university already offers an MBA via compressed video classes.

The new online program is a partnership between UW, Wyoming community colleges and eCollege.com, a company that specializes in building online courses for colleges and universities. eCollege.com also is developing an online real estate certification program for Wyoming.

In preparation for Republic Services becoming the primary provider of residential recycling, yard trimmings, and trash, residents should now select the best cart size and service schedule for their household needs.

UW Outreach School dean Judy Powell said the public-private partnership will offer a high-quality accredited program to UW students who can’t travel to Laramie, as well as students around the world.

Gov. Jim Geringer said the “new economy of Wyoming needs people who have continuing access to education.”
