Welcome to Peru State College and the Distance Education Division. We encompass all forms of ‘distance education’ from our online courses to our courses taken in the Offutt Air Force Base area.  We allow students to complete their degree at their convenience with an online tuition of only $200 per credit hour, with no fees ($250 per credit hour for graduate students).

The most popular segment of Distance Education is our online learning opportunities. Online Learning is an instructional delivery system which connects student learners with educational resources, when the student and faculty member are not in the same location. Online technology allows the student to receive college course instruction regardless of time and location.

Peru State College’s online courses have the same outcomes and objectives as our courses which are offered on the College campus. Students have lectures, discussion questions, writing assignments, projects and exams. All work is completed online in either an eight week or sixteen week academic period.

The online course requires as much commitment to learning as does any on campus course. Online learning is flexible and convenient but also requires that students keep a study schedule, log into class on a regular basis, participate in discussion groups, ask questions of the other students and the instructor and maintain open lines of communications.

Is online learning for you?
Peru State College understands that many students have responsibilities outside of the classroom; however, that should never inhibit them from getting their education. Peru State College’s online program allows students to pursue a bachelor’s or master’s degree, all while continuing their fast paced life.

Peru State College is committed to the success of our online students. Online learning is a mode of improving our educational opportunities. The criteria recommended for successful completion of online courses can be found here.
