Online colleges?


Question:
i want to know why so many people on here say online schools are bs. how is that? they are accredited and if anything you would be smarter learning at your own pace, your own way, independently. do the people who say this actually have a clue what they're talking about?

Answer:
Many of the totally online schools are for profit so there is a different sense of motivation on the part of the institution. So you have to be a bit more careful about a totally online college. Also you want to look at who the accrediting body is and is it the same body that is accrediting brick and mortar schools. It is possible to find schools that say they are accredited but not by a body that other schools would take seriously. This is an issue if you want to go on for an advanced degree.

No. I went to ESC (link above) and it was actually a lot more difficult than when I attended classes. But it was not independent study, I had deadlines just like everyone else.

Our entire class studied in sync with one another whether they were online or in class.

More people are realizing that it is the same education as traditional colleges.
If you are going to college simply to learn, then do what you think is best.

If you are expecting to parlay collee into a career, then check with potential employers on how they feel about online schools.
