Distance education – is a field of education that focuses on the pedagogy and andragogy, technology and instructional systems design that aim to deliver education to students who are not physically "on site". Instead of attending courses in person, teachers and students may communicate at times of their own choosing by exchanging printed or electronic media, or through technology that allows them to communicate in real time and through other online ways.

Distance education provides major benefits to at least three main markets or categories, such as:
     - Expanding access: Distance education can reach underserved populations of students who cannot attend a school that offers the educational services they desire, perhaps because they live too far away.
     - Emerging market opportunities: Distance education fuels the public's need for lifelong learning in education by providing access to learners not in the traditional k-12 age group.
     - Adapting to new technology and environments: Educational institutions may adopt distance education as a means to adapt to the rapid changes in technology being used in education today.

As a biologist, you may work to cure a disease, discover a new species, or use forensic science to help solve crimes. Biology degrees also prepare students for advanced medical or Ph.D programs.
