Abstract
For several years after colonization, Ghana had only three universities—University of Ghana (UG), Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), and University of Cape Coast (UCC). These three could not absorb all the high school graduates who qualified for tertiary education. This situation has been partially alleviated by new universities being started, including private universities. In its effort to engage in national development, the government is embarking on national human resource development. To this end, the government of Ghana has targeted distance education (DE) as a means for widening access to tertiary education in Ghana (Ghana, 2002). With these efforts, four of the public universities have been providing some of their on-campus programs in the distance mode.
