I am a 1983 college graduate with a BS degree in aviation management. I would like to start teaching physical education and coach basketball. What courses would I need to take? What's the cost? Can I do it all in Kansas City?
MU's College of Education provides a number independent study courses through the Center for Distance and Independent Study and online degrees and courses from MU Direct. However, to earn teaching certification or to get a PE degree, you still have to come to campus.

I am a high school senior. I am interested in taking an online class for the spring semester at my school. What classes do you offer and what does it cost?
MU High School, part of the University's Center for Distance and Independent Study, has more than 150 courses available for high school students in all sorts of subjects ranging from the traditional high school offerings to gifted and other unique courses. Before signing up for any of them, you'll need to visit with your counselor to ensure the course you wish to take meets your school's graduation requirements. High school courses cost $110 per half unit, plus a nonrefundable $15 administrative fee.
You can search for the course you need. You can enroll online 24/7 and take up to nine months to finish a course. (In your case, you'll probably have an earlier deadline because of graduation.) Or you can call 1 800-609-3727 to ask questions or request that a copy of our 2002-2003 High School Course Bulletin be mailed to your home.
