The purpose of our web page is to list the best of Michigan's online college offerings and virtual universities. We've focused on colleges "close" to our region, anticipating that you would want to deal with "local" institutions. All of these sites have information about costs, registration, hardware and software required, skills needed, and course descriptions.

A good place to start, close to home, is the University Center at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City. The site lists all of the universities that offer courses from the NMC campus. Most of these are distance learning courses requiring minimal time in TC.

 

One of the biggest players at NMC is Eastern Michigan University. For a list of their academic programs, go to EMU Academics Online.

 

Michigan State University also runs programs from the NMC campus, but they also have one of the most impressive Web-based university operations on the Net.
