Establishing a branch campus. 007.02.

The provisions of this subsection shall also apply when a public institution plans to offer one or more complete degree programs at a cooperating institution located within 30 miles, by the most direct route on a hard-surfaced roadway, of a principal campus of another public institution on which are offered courses or degree programs comparable in content and intended student outcomes to those offered at the off-campus center. 007.03.
