Description - Correspondence courses aid an individual in achieving an educational goal through home study under professional guidance. The correspondence courses offered by Dr. Martin Luther College are prepared and taught by members of the faculty who usually teach the same courses on campus. The content, work requirement, and credit offered for courses in the correspondence program are equivalent to the same courses in the regular program of the college. Normally, a three-credit correspondence course is divided into 24 lessons plus midterm and final examinations. A correspondence course should be completed within one year of registration. Eligibility - Enrollment in the correspondence course program for credit is open to all who would qualify for admission into regular and summer school sessions of Dr. Martin Luther College. A student in residence at DMLC may not have concurrent enrollment in a correspondence course without the permission of the registrar. Sunday school teachers and laypersons are also encouraged to apply even if they are not interested in academic credit. Admission - Application for correspondence study may be made at any time. Persons who wish to take correspondence courses for certification credit should be previously accepted into the certification program. Cost - The fee for a three-credit correspondence course is $225.00. Students may obtain a six-month extension at an additional cost of $40. Other costs to the student include textbooks, materials, and mailing expenses.
