Consider Online Learning
As you evaluate degree programs, you may notice the many advantages of the online learning format.
Online learning can fit around your existing commitments and responsibilities. You can complete online courses despite obstacles like long commutes, traffic, transportation problems, childcare conflicts, business meetings or trips, an inconsistent work schedule, your own illnesses or the illnesses of loved ones, and so on; problems that may make it impossible to attend classes on campus, aren’t so difficult for online learners.
As an online learner, you will have strict deadlines, but most online degree programs offer 24/7 access to learning materials, message boards, and tutors. This way, you can hop on early in the morning, on your lunch break, or late at night – whatever works for you.
You can also work toward your degree at your own pace. If you’re motivated and have the time, online programs often offer classes in accelerated 8-week semesters, rather than the more traditional 16-week semesters, which will help you earn your degree in a fraction of the time.
Oh, and did we mention online learning is often a cheaper option?
