Top ten reason for pursuing an online degree: |
|

- The classroom is always open, even at 2:00
am. The convenience of fitting classes into one’s own schedule
is consistently the top advantage reported by online students.
- You can go to school in your pajamas. For
many, being able to learn at home, at the office or even on the
road is both comfortable and convenient.
- Nobody knows what you look like. Some students
report that the anonymity of online learning makes it easier for
them to discuss controversial topics.
- You don’t have to eat out as much.
And there are leftovers in the fridge. This can be an advantage
in terms of both cost and diet.
- Save money on gas. And on babysitters.
Online classes often mean less time (and expense) commuting and
more time with family.
- You have time to think about what you want
to say. Bulletin board based discussion are unhurried, and both
students and faculty appreciate the time and thought that go into
these discussions.
- Quality matters. Effective online programs
are able to bring together the expertise of experts in the field
who would not otherwise be available to a campus-based program.
- You will grow as a person. We seldom grow
when we are comfortable. A new experience like this causes you
to stretch and adapt, becoming more flexible and more thoughtful.
- Community counts. Based on the frequency
and quality of contacts between students and faculty, a sense
of community in a well-managed online program often exceeds that
of a class room.
- You will learn a lot.
