Distance Education Advantage
Redefining Education
Through Untethered Learning
At Unity Distance Education, we fully embrace the idea that learning transcends the traditional classroom and is most powerful when it’s hands-on and rooted in the real world. Our online courses are designed not just to teach concepts, but to have students actively do the work they’re learning—whether that’s digging soil samples, cooking sustainable meals, or contributing to wildlife research.
This unique approach to education breaks away from traditional, lecture-based learning. Instead of simply moving in-person classes online, we design our courses to maximize the online format, providing flexible, project-based experiences that fit your life.
At Unity, you won’t just be reading about environmental science—you’ll be out in the field practicing it. Our mission is to offer experiential education that’s affordable, flexible, and accessible. So, whether you’re tracking wildlife populations or developing conservation strategies, you’ll be gaining skills that truly matter in today’s world.

We don’t just teach students about things—they get up, go outside, and DO the things they’re meant to learn.”

Why Choose Unity's Distance Education?
Our Distance Education programs connect students and faculty from every state in the nation and around the world. This diversity allows students to learn from each other’s unique experiences while networking with professional experts in their field.
Courses are built around term-long projects, which means you can tackle a piece of the project each week for a cumulative and comprehensive learning experience. Additionally, our courses are designed with ADA accessibility in mind to benefit all learners.
We prioritize mental health and substance abuse support, offering free virtual and on-demand counseling options to help students navigate personal challenges while pursuing their studies.
You decide how quickly you complete your program. Eight 5-week terms for bachelors students and five 8-week terms for masters students provide ultimate learning flexibility, so you can take a break when you need to while keeping your federal financial aid.
We believe in helping students understand the true value of our degrees. That’s why we provide clear information about total costs, industry growth, and potential opportunities so you can make informed decisions about your future. Giving you the information you need to make your money count is just another way we are setting students up for success.
As a Distance Education student, you’ll receive dedicated support from a team of Professional Advisors, Faculty Experts, and Career Specialists to ensure you reach the finish line! Our low student-to-faculty ratio ensures that every student receives the attention and support they need to succeed.
