Can an Online Education Actually Land You a Job? - Carol Trehearn, Inscriber Magazine
Not only is online learning just as credible as classroom learning, in some cases it can be even better. When you’re learning in a traditional classroom setting, you’re a part of an often large class who the teacher or lecturer has to divide his/her time amongst. Contrary to popular belief, many employers often look favorably upon those who have completed an online-only degree. Why? Well, when you think about it, completing an online degree can often require a lot more self-study, discipline and determination than completing a traditional classroom based course. No matter what you may have heard, online degrees are worth exactly the same as traditional classroom based degrees. Just because you are not attending in-person lectures and seminars doesn’t mean that you’re not fully studying all of the learning materials and completing the set assignments.
