Autonomous university

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term "autonomous university'" typically refers to a university which exercises independent control over its day to day operations and curriculum.

Alternatively, the term, along with the term "autonomous open university'", can characterize an entity that provides higher education on the Internet autonomously and without human presence or involvement. This differs distinctly from a "virtual" or "open" university which is a brand extension of a physical university on the Internet.^{[citation needed]}
