Learning about learning online: education at a distance
If you have a busy or unpredictable schedule or limited transportation options or you simply don’t live near a school that offers a program you’re interested in, an online education can be a great solution! But before you take that step, make sure you do your research and consider the following questions:
Is the program you’re interested in available online?
Some schools offer a mixture of online and face-to-face classes. Some schools even offer the bulk of classes online, but might require one or two weeks in person or want you to take tests at an official testing center. Make sure the program you’re interested in fits your schedule!
