Online College Courses

Is taking an online course hard?

Online course material can be as difficult or as easy as the same course conducted face-to-face. Three aspects of an online class that may be more challenging than a traditional class:
Online courses may require more self-discipline because they’re not set to regular class times.All communication with the instructor and other students is online, so there delays in response times can occur.Online courses can involve more individual reading or study time than traditional classroom courses.However, many students find the time and place flexibility, the lower cost associated with online courses, and the ability to take courses while working a full-time job or managing other priorities outweigh the challenges.

Do online college courses transfer?

Transferring college courses for credit to a degree program depends entirely on the school accepting the transfer credit. Each college and university has specific guidelines for transferring credit that must be followed. It is important to confirm course transferability with the admissions office or registrar of your target school before you enroll to ensure the course will transfer to both the institution and degree program you intend to pursue.

Are online courses cheaper?

Online courses can be less expensive per credit hour than traditional on-campus courses, but fees vary widely by institution and program. Students can save money on transportation costs such as gas and parking fees, and for students already in the workforce and/or raising families, online courses allow the flexibility needed to maintain their work schedule to preserve their paycheck. Also, some online programs allow out-of-state students to pay in-state tuition for courses, which can be a huge cost savings in addition to saving on room and board.

How much does it cost to take an online college course?

Course fees depend on the provider, but a recent USA Today survey of online bachelor's degree programs at public schools for the 2017-2018 school year found that in-state tuition ranged from $92 to $595 per credit hour with an average of $305.

How can I tell if an online college or university is legitimate?

Any college you consider should be accredited by one of the six regional accrediting bodies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. If the college advertises national or another level of accreditation, further your research and proceed with caution.

Can I get a completely online degree in any college subject?

Almost. There are some degree programs that have lab, clinical or field requirements that cannot be met by online college courses alone. This includes some in the medical, education, or social work fields. However, hybrid degree programs that combine online college courses with classroom training and/or field work may be offered.

Do online college courses qualify for federal financial aid?

If you qualify for federal financial aid, you can receive federal financial aid for an online college course taken at a regionally-accredited institution. Check with your school’s financial aid office for more information.

Do I need to own a computer to take an online college course?

No, but you do need regular and reliable access to a computer with internet access to complete assignments and communicate with your instructor or other students. Many online schools offer apps that allow access to course materials from a smartphone or tablet, which can be helpful for streaming video lessons, reading course content, or contributing to discussion boards. Also, typing up an essay or research paper on your smartphone could be incredibly tedious and time-consuming.
