Welcome to Old Dominion University's
Office of Distance Learning!

Located in Norfolk, Va., Old Dominion University is a public doctoral extensive research institution - one of only 101 public universities in the nation to hold a Carnegie Doctoral Research-Extensive distinction. With a history dating back to its inception in 1930 as a branch campus of the College of William and Mary, the University has a long-standing reputation for quality in higher education. Old Dominion University is also a pioneer in telecommunications and continuing education, and it has been a leader in distance learning since the mid-1980s.

The Office of Distance Learning extends the value of a regionally-accredited university education through a variety of distance learning options, including TELETECHNET, a satellite delivery network established in 1994. Additionally, Internet and computer-based deliveries make higher education more convenient, flexible, and easily accessible for working students and those in rural communities.

Old Dominion offers nationally ranked programs in the sciences, engineering, arts and letters, health sciences, business and education. Our network includes nearly 50 locations throughout Virginia and as far away as Arizona, Georgia, Washington State, the Bahamas, and even U.S. Navy ships and submarines deployed around the globe. No matter where our students are located, we are committed to providing them with high-quality instruction, advising, and student support services.

More than 3,500 students have graduated from Old Dominion University's Distance Learning program. Our students have been recognized for outstanding academic achievement and have been chosen for a wide variety of exciting professional positions following graduation. As you look at our web site and learn more about distance learning opportunities available to you, we hope you will decide to join our growing family of Old Dominion University students and alumni who have completed all or part of their studies through the Office of Distance Learning.

Sincerely,

Andy Casiello
Interim Associate Vice President for
