    Hi All,

    I know this topic has been discussed before, but I had a student e-mail our director with the following message:


    "She was calling to inquire about correspondence courses for someone in prison. Do you happen to know what school(s) have that offering? I think there is a school out west that is accredited and serves the prison population. Could you research a bit and see what you can find, giving Judean a call back"

    Anyone have any information on this? I tried to search, but the function is messed up.

    Thank you!

    BU's Metropolitan College has an excellent prison education program here in Massachusetts. They even have an alumnus who's now a published author. They might be able to offer information on other such programs.

    This is all I could find on the BU website:

    Prison Education Program

    Metropolitan College offers a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in three Massachusetts correctional facilities as part of its Prison Education Program.

    For more information, contact:

    Thank you for the information, I also noticed that Bear's guide has information on prison education as well, so I recommended she purchase the book
