The application of communication technology may be the fundamental component in the development and implementation of urban universities in the future. An alternative to the present urban university is the total integration of communication technology into the modes of delivering university services. A model of this alternative is essentially an information center with a large number of remote terminals to which university services are delivered through the use of communication networks. The development of this model is based on: the availability of resources, educational effectiveness, interaction with the urban community, and the capability of being easily accessed.
