External Education

External Education is defined to include any credit-bearing course or program of which more than 50% is delivered primarily at locations other than the Athens campus. It is defined by the Board of Regents as face-to-face instruction and interaction between instructor and student when both are located in an environment external to the Athens campus, including established external education campuses.

The definition of external education does not include non-credit-bearing courses, including continuing education courses under the auspices of the Vice President for Public Service and Outreach.
