Is there anyway to develop sharepoint projects without having sharepoint server installed locally. I have a sharepoint server running at my work and vs2010 installed locally. I want to be able to test my projects on the server.

You develop them locally but without SharePoint installed you cant test them. Microsoft Offers no free version of SharePoint Server, so you have to be able to use a licensed copy of SharePoint to test on it. I just use a Remote Desktop Connection to connect to my DEV machine that has SP installed on and Visual Studio. I then develop my app then test, and then it gets deployed to our SharePoint Farm.

Yes, it is possible. You just need to build wsp and then deploy it on a SharePoint server. I hope, this links will help you:
