Researching
the Pros and Cons of
Getting Your Degree
Online
|
|
| |
| By
Dan Allen |

Are
you considering
getting your
bachelor's or
master's or
other degree
online? It's a
growing field
that's
receiving
acceptance and
approval for
all types of
career and
education
goals.
The biggest
advantage to
online degree
education is
that it's a
complete
college degree
program that is
delivered via
the Internet.
All classes,
materials,
tests and
lectures are
delivered
online. This
process allows
the student to
"attend" class
from anywhere
at any time
that is
convenient to
them.
According to
educators from
Cornell
University,
"the web
provides
significant new
functionality
in transmitting
information to
the student and
providing
forums for
exchange. The
web is
revolutionizing
some areas of
study through
increased
opportunities
for learning
and alternative
formats for
information."
(Dwyer,
Barbieri, and
Doerr, 1995).
One of the ways
it has done
this is through
enhanced
student-to-student
and
faculty-to-student
communication.
Students and
faculty can
both benefit
from using the
communication
and assessment
tools that are
made available
via online
learning.
The technology
also enables
students to
exercise more
flexibility in
their approach
to education,
depending on
what best suits
their personal
learning styles
and busy
schedules.
In addition,
the class
material and
program is
continuously
updated for up
to the minute,
real world
application.
This allows the
student to
immediately
begin applying
their new
knowledge to
their existing
work
environment.
There are many
different types
of programs
available.
Students can
receive a
bachelor's or
master's degree
in many areas
such as
accounting,
marketing,
human
resources,
e-business,
information
technology,
nursing and
even elementary
education.
The typical
online program
takes three
years to
complete. A
master's degree
program may
take up to four
years depending
on the type of
degree sought
and the prior
education of
the student.
Most programs
are accredited
and they
usually accept
the transfer of
prior credits
from other
accredited
universities.
Some of them
are also
well-known
off-line
schools such as
Duke, Stanford,
Jones
International,
and Capella.
While enrolled,
a student
typically takes
just one class
at a time for a
five to six
week period.
This allows the
student to
concentrate
solely on that
material before
moving on to
the next module
of
information.
The price of an
online degree
education
program is
comparable to
that of a
regular college
degree. Plus,
many students
are eligible
for financing
in the way of a
student loan.
Sometimes
employer
education
programs can
even reimburse
a student's
tuition fees.
Keep in mind
though, that
you may have to
be a little
more organized
and
self-motivated
for this type
of education
and you will
have to manage
time demands in
other areas of
your life.
Because you
normally won't
have set class
times, it will
be up to you to
the time into
your schedule.
Then again,
some programs
require that
you log on to
the Internet at
designated
times for
virtual class
sessions.
Another
potential
disadvantage is
that some
employers still
prefer that
their employees
have degrees
from
traditional
colleges.
However, these
views are
rapidly
changing.
A recent survey
of 1,300
graduates and
80 employers
asked
supervisors to
rate the value
of the degree
earned by their
employee
compared to a
resident school
degree in the
same field.
Sixty-nine
percent of the
supervisors
rated the
online degree
"just as
valuable" or
"more valuable"
than
traditional
degrees. This
means that one
out of three
supervisors
need to be
convinced that
an online
degree offers
the same
quality and
content as a
traditional
degree. Plus,
traditional
brick and
mortar
universities
who offer
online courses
often make no
separation
between their
programs and
the type of
degree awarded.
And transcripts
do not indicate
whether a
course was done
at a distance
or on campus.
