Associate, bachelor and master online degrees and distance education programsDistance education degrees have been around for decades, but of course the internet has completely revolutionized the whole notion of a correspondence course. And as a result, more people than ever before are signing up, many instead of a regular four year degree program. The 4 year college right of passage is fading away for many, as it is simply more practical and affordable to work full time and go through an nline degree tailor made for the students' needs. As with any trend gaining in popularity, online degrees are also generating many bogus and poor quality programs, which porport to be recognized and accredited, but a little research refutes their assertions. So research is important, as is verifying the program you choose will be respected by your current and future employers. Life experience degres tend to be looked down upon, but some respected programs do give partial credit for the very real learning that occurs from real work experience. So do your homework, ask questions, and read the fine print. Remember the counselors you speak with get paid with commission in most programs, and may not paint an accurate picture. If you can, try to speak with students who actually attend or graduate from the program. And make sure "accredited' actually means accredited by a recognized overseeing body of higher education. If you do your research and deliberate carefully, you are almost certain to make a good choice that will leave you with increased income and increased career options.
