Z-Degrees
Z-Degree Project
A Z-degree is a complete associate or bachelor's degree program that exclusively use course resources that are no cost to students, such as:
- open educational resources (OER)
- open textbooks
- library-curated materials
To be considered a Z-degree course, the instructor cannot require students to purchase any course resources. Optional or supplemental resources that are a cost to students may be recommended.
