Even in the professions many of the courses are textbook based and change very little from year to year. These could easily be videotaped and students could take exams at a local approved testing center.

I hold a doctorate in one of the stem fields and at least half of my program did **not** require on-campus attendance. Laboratory and clinic rotations are, of course, and important exception.
