Campus field and lab courses offer significant opportunities to integrate learning experiences in the greater Yellowstone Ecosystem - home for Montana State University-Bozeman. Teachers thrive in this incredible environment, working and learning with world renowned faculty. MSU-Bozeman has gained valuable experience in
offering on-line courses through its National
Science Foundation funded National Teachers
Enhancement Network (NTEN) project. During the
past twelve years those participating in MSU's
NTEN project and Extended University have offered on-line science courses
to a national and international audience. In
addition to increasing awareness, acceptance,
and expertise among faculty and administrators,
such experience with distance delivery has resulted
in the development of an infrastructure for
both faculty and student support that enables
MSU to provide high quality learning experiences
at a distance.
