Innovation & Extended Learning advances the University’s mission to bring accessible, relevant and high quality education and training to people across Minnesota and beyond.
Our Innovative Offices
Innovation & Extended Learning is supported by three offices on campus: the Center for Extended Learning, Summer @ BSU and eLearning Support.
Center for Extended Learning
Extended Learning serves the University community by facilitating student access to a high quality education environment beyond the Bemidji campus, through technology. We work with academic departments and services to coordinate flexible online undergraduate and graduate degree completion programs, as well as certificates and licensures. Extended Learning also provides exam proctoring for students in online courses and other exams requiring a certified testing center.
