Extension Studies

Catch up or get ahead on your degree requirements with a variety of flexible course options. OXP offers many college courses not normally offered through the academic departments/schools. Extension courses may be offered on campus, or through online and hybrid/blended options. Our faculty-led Study-in-America program provides students with the experience of studying beyond the traditional classroom setting. Enrollment for an extension class does not constitute acceptance as a regular student at Texas State.

NROP

The Non-Resident Tuition for Online Programs (NROP) initiative was created to help Bobcats who live outside of the State of Texas and take 100% of their coursework online within eligible programs by paying fees equivalent to in-state residential tuition.

Academic Field Trips

Academic field trips offer course-related learning activities at field locations outside the classroom. Field trips are offered by academic departments/schools and are led by faculty.
