Correspondence study provides an alternate method to earn undergraduate credit hours. Each course provides a study guide, correlated with a textbook and detailed instructions for all assignments. All correspondence courses are developed, and are periodically updated, by SWT faculty. The Office of Correspondence and Extension Studies has prepared a catalog which discusses all program regulations and includes a listing of courses available through correspondence. A copy of the current Correspondence Study Catalog of course offerings may be obtained by writing The Office of Correspondence and Extension Studies, Southwest Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas 78666 or by calling (512) 245-2322.
