Overview

As the Internet continues to play a larger role in our lives, online education is rapidly gaining traction with students. Because not every field of study actually requires the student to be in the classroom, more and more schools are offering at least some of their programs via the Internet—and a number of schools now offer their curriculum entirely online.

As an online student, you’ll be able to set your own hours, and in many cases, work at your own pace. You’ll engage in healthy discussions through online chat, messaging boards and virtual classrooms. You’ll be able to do your work anywhere you have an Internet connection. In some cases, even your textbooks will be accessible online, and will be included in the tuition. While some subjects require an occasional on-site visit, in many cases you’ll be able to earn a certificate or degree without ever setting foot on campus.
