Do you want to study while you also work and earn money?
Many people who have jobs, can’t travel far away from their home or just don’t want to spend so much money on traditional classes turn to online (distance) degrees. E-learning is becoming more and more popular and for good reason.
What are some of the reasons why students who have taken traditional classes switched to online education to finish their degree?
Almost 80% of all online students enrolled in online programs to help them with their career, half of them chose it because of the difficulty of attending class on campus, 20% chose it because it was the only way to study their field of interest and another 20% for partnership.
What are the basic admission requirements most Online Universities have?
Universities generally have the same admission requirements. Usually what you need to be able to apply for an online degree is: a high school qualification, high school transcripts, GPA from high school or university, an essay, letter of recommendation and ACT/SAT scores.
Are Online Degrees free of charge?
Just because it’s online it doesn’t mean it’s free and just because it is cheaper than traditional classes it doesn’t mean it is easy to pay off. Depending on the online college you want to apply, before doing so make sure you research scholarships and financial aid to help you with that.
Which online degrees are the most popular among students and how many of them chose these programs?
Business was always the most popular online degree. Other than Business (a quarter interest) students were interested in Health and Medicine (20%), IT and Computers (10%), Social Sciences, Criminal Justice and Law (10%) and lastly Arts and Humanities (10%).
Who can benefit the most from taking Online Classes and receiving a diploma through this method?
Some students work full-time, some have to take care of their children and some take care of elderly family. It is much easier to do all that while studying online than taking traditional classes.
What do you do in case you’ve been rejected?
There are plenty of other universities hence more possibilities. Make sure you have a back-up plan that allows you to either apply for another institution, take a gap year, pursue an internship or perhaps even work.
What kind of skills and technical equipment do students need to have to be able to follow online classes?
Technical requirements and basic computer skills are a must for students who want to get into online education. When it comes to tech requirements each student needs: high-speed internet access, a recent operating system, office software, microphone, speakers/headphones, CD/DVD drive and as for computer skills each student has to know how to open PDF files, use the internet, use-mail and chat rooms, create, save, copy and organize folders/files.
