Distance Education
University of Ghana’s Distance Education (DE) Programme
University of Ghana decided in July 2007 to offer some of its undergraduate courses in the Faculties of Arts, Social Studies and the Business School by distance.
The Institute has been given the responsibility to manage the implementation of the programme. With the support of the University’s Distance Education Implementation Committee and Heads of the Departments in the three faculties the programme was launched in November 2007.
The first batch of over 800 students was admitted to commence courses in Sociology, Philosophy, Linguistics, Geography and Resource Development and Economics in January 2008. The programme is in its sixth year and has since expanded tremendously.
