At Southeastern, it’s our goal to offer a high-quality university experience to students all across the U.S. As we continue to expand our distance education program, we are working to comply with state regulations and become authorized to open extension sites and offer online degree programs.
Each state creates its own set of standards as to how out-of-state educational institutions can operate within that state’s borders. This includes offering classes in an actual physical location as well as online. Listed below are our state compliance statements.
