When I was in high school, my mom was an administrator for BYU's Degrees by Independent Study. That was my first exposure to the idea of getting a real, accredited college degree without the full campus experience. It was a great fit for all sorts of people, like adults who were working full time to support a family, stay-at-home moms who couldn't be gone all day, those were were physically unable to manage the rigors of moving from class-to-class all day, etc.
