Reasons to Consider Online College After High School - Joe Chapman, US News

Thousands of high school seniors will soon decide: What's next for me? But what makes this question different from in years past is that more than ever, students have multiple avenues for earning a college degree. Students can choose a path that best fits their individual goals on their own terms. In the U.S., less than a third of undergraduates are considered "traditional" students, referring to those enrolled full time at a four-year residential college. Further, a recent study from the National Center for Education Statistics found that 62 percent of students work either full or part time, and 28 percent have at least one dependent. For many nontraditional students, pursuing a degree online is ideal, allowing them to achieve their goals and earn an undergraduate credential from anywhere in the world, even if life gets in the way. https://www.usnews.com/education/online-learning-lessons/articles/2017-04-28/reasons-to-consider-an-online-bachelors-program-after-high-school
