An electronic university: Engineers across the United States can earn master's degrees by enrolling in a new television-based institution

One of the most unusual universities in the United States is the National Technological University. It has no undergraduate programs, and it does not grant doctorates; it offers only studies leading to the Master of Science degree in various branches of technology. The school's “campus” in Fort Collins, Colo., has only administrative offices. Its faculty reside at universities in nine states, from Alaska to South Carolina. And its students are scattered across the country; few go near a college campus.
