Programs at a Distance is what Buffalo State College calls this new progam and it's for students who cannot afford to travel the distance needed to work on their Master's Degree. The above students, Mark Teoli, Dave Pavan, and Mike Penz, Sr. are taking a course where their 'site' is located at Niagara West BOCES in Sanborn. There are two other sites with the main classroom being at Buffalo State Bacon Hall 123 and another one located at LoGuidice BOCES-Fredonia. All the sites are interconnected by a Fiber Optic Network, which provides live video-audio conferencing, with real time interaction as they can all see each other as shown on the monitors in front and in the back of each class.
