Online college opens avenues for students
Many of you have come across the occasional
distance learning offering: a
correspondence course that you do at home, mail in your work, and get credit for
it. But in the last five years, with the advent of the Internet, the online
college has pushed education through a whole other
paradigm.
Some students pursue Masters and PhD level programs with online
education
With online colleges, you’re not
limiting your college experience to just one or two courses. You’re signing up
to get a complete degree via a distance learning program. Educators and students
meet together in a virtual classroom of threaded discussion groups, submit
essays and short answers for participation, and work as virtual teams to submit
group assignments. When you’re finished with a class, you get real college
credit for your work.
If you already have a degree and you’re not interested in getting educated in a
different field, don’t pass online colleges up. Many online colleges offer
Master’s and PhD level programs. The
University of Phoenix
Online, for example, offers nine different Masters of Business programs, as
well as Masters programs in Nursing and Education. They offer PhD level
educational programs in Health Administration and Education.
The great thing about programs that are available online is that you can do your
homework when it’s convenient to you. You can work your college classes around
your busy schedule. College doesn’t have to impact your job or your work outs,
or even dinner with your family.
