Virtual College Purpose/Mission. 1. Off-campus students are a diverse population with differences in educational requirements, motivation, constraints, goals, and opportunities.

The Virtual College offers both degree and non- degree programs for students and uses technology to provide programs to place-bound students. 3. The Virtual College provides college-level courses using mediated technology and practical, customized course work to prepare students for in-demand professional fields in their regions. FHSU's programs offer accessibility to distance conferences and fiber optic connections throughout the Midwest and work in partnership with communities and professional fields to provide high-quality credit offerings. 1.
