Admission to the outreach program is the same as in the regular program, and
the courses and degrees are identical. In addition, all students must have either
a U.S. mailing address (including U.S. possessions) or an APO.
Auburn University's outreach program is well established and offers the same quality of education as is available on campus.
We have off campus graduate students located all over the United States from Puerto Rico to Alaska. Most of them are working professionals who travel a lot or do not have local access to a high quality engineering graduate program. In addition, some are serving in the armed forces including overseas.
All of these students are served by the video-based Graduate Outreach Program. Courses are videoed as they are taught then and sent to these off-campus students as DVDs or posted on the internet as streaming video. Students do the same homework and take the same exams as the on-campus students. Also, these students interact with the faculty and the on campus students via the web, fax or phone. In fact, some of the outreach students visit the campus as needed, though this is not a requirement except for the final project or thesis defense.
