All Education Majors Invited
four-year ba c calaureate degree
and college credit courses for
teacher certification and profes
sional advancement in special
fields of interest.
Credits gained through the cor
respondence course are identical
with those earned during class
room instruction. However, the
credits may not apply towards
a graduate degree.
The most successful develop
ment of correspondence courses
is found with students who "bud
get their time, have the ability
to self-motivate, read and write
the best English," said Oscar
Spencer,

dence education.
"Failures in the courses some
what parallel those on campus,"
Spencer said.
The total active course enroll
ment, other than University stu
dents, reached over 8000 last year.
