Abstract:
This paper describes the efforts of the UF/IFAS College of Agricultural and Life Sciences to build undergraduate degree programs at off-campus sites. The principle objective of the paper is to provide experience-based observations and recommendations to institutions considering or planning to launch off-campus degree programs. Attention is also given to the background and development of these statewide partnership programs. The recommendations and observations are based upon the experiences accrued as a consequence of developing six offcampus baccalaureate degree-granting programs. This paper is designed to share the lessons learned in the hope that other institutions intending to build programs such as ours will benefit. Development of these off-campus programs allows UF to improve the accessibility to some of its educational programs by taking the State's land grant University to the people.
