What courses are available through Project SAIL?
As of 2004, there are eight specialty A.S. Degree programs, 11 certificate programs, and more than 100 industry-specific courses. For more detail, please visit the Project SAIL Catalog.

What are the benefits of being involved in Project SAIL rather than just having students sign up individually for these online specialty courses and programs?
Through Project SAIL, the institution providing the specialty content is able to recapture some of the development investment funding, while the recipient institution is able to enrich its program options, increase FTE counts, and serve local industry needs, while their students are able to access high-quality eLearning options while retaining services at their home institutions, such as advising, financial aid, tutoring, computer lab access, library access, career guidance services, and local placement services.

Are all the Project SAIL programs asynchronous, web-based, and delivered only through distance learning?
No. Many of the Project SAIL programs and courses can be made available as hybrid options, or delivered via CD-ROMs for LAN distribution, and those with lab or apprenticeship requirements can be coordinated through local college services and community networks.

How much do Project SAIL programs cost?
Project SAIL programs and courses are offered through negotiations and service contracts by the Project SAIL Partner providers. The terms, costs, and delivery of programs are negotiable with each Project SAIL partner. An example of one SAIL program cost is $85.00 per student/per credit hour, with the home institution to receive the FTE for each student participant.
