Welcome to Distance Education at Iowa State University

Distance Education courses provide an opportunity for you to learn independently from a location that's convenient for you.

Though you are not physically "on site" for a course, you will interact with the instructor and other students through e-mail and chat sites.

You are required to have an ISU Net ID and ISU e-mail account to take Iowa State University Distance Education courses.
