About GWU Full & Part-time Distance Programs

George Wythe University course curricula are the same for both on and off-campus students. The off-campus programs include many elements similar to the on-campus environment such as lectures, personal mentoring, colloquia, simulations, mid-terms, finals, oral exams and presentations. In addition, off-campus students enjoy a greater degree of flexibility appropriate to their unique circumstances, schedules and lifestyles.

George Wythe University off-campus services are provided by our Distance, Statesmanship Seminar and Extension programs. Both undergraduate and master’s level students may apply to these programs.
