Through Canadian distance education, almost all of the traditional on-campus arts degrees are available online. No on-campus participation is needed or expected and students are free to complete their degrees at their own pace. Typically students are given five to seven years, and in some instances 10 years, to complete a distance Bachelor of Arts degree. While most distance degree providers embrace open learning, some individual credit courses may only be available at set times of the year.
