The "University without Walls", i.e., the external degree earned by work off-campus, is a relatively new but increasingly important development in higher education. At Pennsylvania State University, such a program leading to an associate degree is being developed for the dietetic technician. Through correspondence study for credit and other avenues, dietetic paraprofessionals can prepare themselves for upgrading to supervisory roles calling for academic preparation. The need is particularly apparent in view of recently issued requirements that supervisory foodservice personnel in extended care facilities have 90 clock hours of instruction. The projected curriculum will permit the earning of credits by correspondence; through courses taught by multi-media; by transferring courses from other institutions; or by examination. Elements of the curriculum planning are detailed.
“无墙大学”，即通过校外工作获得的外部学位，是高等教育中一项相对较新但日益重要的发展。在宾夕法尼亚州立大学，正在为营养技师开发这样一个通向副学士学位的项目。通过函授课程获得学分以及其他途径，营养辅助专业人员可以为晋升到需要学术准备的监督职位做好准备。鉴于最近发布的要求，即长期护理机构的餐饮服务监督人员需有90个课时的培训，这种需求尤为明显。预计的课程将允许通过函授、多媒体授课课程、从其他机构转课程或考试来获得学分。课程规划的要素有详细说明。
