Getting a Degree Online, Is it for You?
by Dr. Thomas P. Slater
If you're an older adult who's always wanted to continue
your education and you just haven't had time to, or if you
want to go back to college for that advanced degree but a
full-time job keeps you from signing up for classes, you're
in luck. Today, online colleges afford nontraditional
students, parents, those with full-time jobs, and others not
able to go back to school full time in a traditional
university setting the liberty to continue their educations
on their own schedules.
It used to be that if you wanted to go back to college, you
had to go to college part-time, at night, or otherwise
arrange your schedule inconveniently, so that you could
attend classes on campus. Alternatively, of course, you
could quit your job if you had the means to do so and go
back to college full time. However, today, you can keep your
full-time career and your regular schedule intact and still
get that masters degree you want. Got kids you need to be
home for? No problem. An http://www.onlinecollegesonline.org/ online schools lets you attend classes on your own schedule, be home
for your kids and anything else you need to be there for --
and oftentimes, you won't have to step foot outside your
front door to do so until the latter part of your learning,
at least. It's likely that you'll need some hands-on
fieldwork study eventually outside your home, but you can
get the early parts of your degree done completely at home
and on your own schedule.
One of the first things you need to do is to look for a
college that is fully accredited. For this, check the school
and make sure it has accreditation from the Department of
Education and the Council for Higher Education; the Distance
Education and Training Council is the accrediting
organization for these types of colleges, also called
"distance learning" institutions. You can also ask the class
itself for references and find other students who have
attended a particular distance-learning program, to make
sure that it provides the quality learning you want. Of
course, you'll also want to check your field of study and
find a distance-learning university that specializes in
that.
Another consideration for many students is financial
assistance. Previously, students attending distance-learning
classes were not offered financial aid unless at least 50%
of their learning was completed on a physical campus. This
is no longer true, which is perhaps as a result of both the
improvement of distance learning training programs and the
recognition that this type of education is, some say, the
next big trend. Today, it is often considered a indulgence
to be able to go to school full time as a student, and these
types of classes recognize that no longer can many people
simply drop their lives and go to school full time. Many
students these days are nontraditional students with other
responsibilities beyond their own lives, so that they do not
have the luxury to devote three or four years' time
exclusively to an education.
Perhaps the best place to help you determine your potential
school's accreditation is to look at the regional
accreditation board in your school's area. If your school is
accredited by this board, it will be fully accepted by
employers and other professional organizations as a bona
fide school. This, in turn, makes it much easier to get a
job and recognition. In fact, many organizations and
employers will not recognize a associates degree unless it
is from an accredited degree program. However, if you take
the time to make sure your community college is accredited,
your online education is every bit as valid as one you would
obtain on campus.
