Take Advantage of the Exploding Popularity of Distance Learning Colleges
Distance learning colleges are popping up all over the world.
One of the most well-known, University of Phoenix, started in
1976 with 8 students. Currently, its academic enrollment numbers
more than 200,000 students located all over the world, making it
the largest private, accredited university of the distance
learning colleges.
In fact, it's the largest private accredited university in the
United States, period. Over 100,000 of those students are
enrolled strictly in the online distance learning programs.
Distance learning colleges are flourishing for a number of
reasons. There is our fast changing economy. People need to stay
up to date on their skills, or constantly acquire new one's so
that they can advance in their career and stay valuable to their
employer, without becoming obsolete.
There are also many people who feel education is a lifelong
pursuit and not something that stops once you graduate from
college. Both of these lead into one of the biggest reasons for
the popularity of distance learning education and that is
convenience.
We all lead very hectic lives and the one thing we always seem
to be short of is time. Distance learning colleges eliminate the
time aspect of education as much as it can be eliminated.
Continuing your education through distance learning eliminates a
lot of the hassles of night school. You don't have to work all
day and then drive to class, spend three hours of your evening,
drive home, and then study. You can just log on to your computer
when you get home instead. This is a much less stressful way to
pursue a degree.
Another advantage is not going through the hassle and stress of
finding the right classes, in the right
order, that are
available at a time that is at least somewhat convenient for
you.
What happens when a class you need is only available Tuesday
evenings from 6 - 9 and that's the one night of the week that
you travel for your job. You're out of luck. But attending
college or graduate school through distance learning gets rid of
that obstacle. You can get an online degree instead.
Another big obstacle in the way of getting an education is
money. There aren't many of us that can quit work to go back to
school full time. With a distance learning program you can get
an online degree without giving up your current job. This makes
it a heck of a lot easier to pursue your degree when you can
keep your current income while you go to school.
The virtual classroom that is available in most distance
learning colleges offers other advantages compared with typical
academic settings, and that's 24-hour access to programs,
faculty, and the other students, as well.
With the large number of distance learning colleges you can
choose from today, you can find a degree or certification, or
continuing education courses, in almost any subject, from
journalism, to an MBA, to a PhD, Law degree, accounting,
bachelor's, engineering, culinary school, investing, real
estate, paralegal, medical billing and more.
Have a look around at all the information on distance learning
colleges so you can decide what distance learning model is best
for your life, goals, and situation.
