Every student is different. Some want credit toward a degree, others want to gain experience and grow within their current career path. Others still may want to learn a new skill in the interest of self-improvement. If you’re looking to take a college course online, which reason speaks to you?

Online college courses for credit are geared toward students looking to earn an associate, bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree. For-credit courses include general education classes, as well as major-specific classes in areas such as:

While most undergraduate programs require students to take general education classes, certification and licensing programs typically focus their curriculum on subjects relevant to the field of study. A variety of online certification and licensing programs are available. Here are a few examples of programs and typical courses:

In addition, some fields require continuing education to maintain licensure, including many medical, education, insurance, and social work/counseling careers. Online college courses can provide the flexibility licensed professionals need so they can learn around their work schedules.

Some professionals use online college courses to develop workplace skills to boost their resume. They also take courses to increase their employability or advocate for a raise or promotion. A few in-demand skills that can be obtained through online classes include:

Online college courses can be invaluable for someone considering a career change, whether it’s within the same industry (such as a registered nurse looking to transition to nursing management) or to a different industry (an accountant seeking to become a firefighter). In these cases, online college courses help someone already in the workforce pursue a career change while still employed in their current role.

Many adult learners from all educational backgrounds have found that online college courses can help them learn more in-depth about a specific subject or learn new skills for personal development. College courses taken online for personal interest rather than as part of a degree program can also give learners access to experienced professors and field experts outside their immediate geographic location. Popular courses for general learning include:

For credit or not for credit, that’s your first question. Taking an online course for credit allows you to receive a letter grade and apply the credit hours toward your chosen degree program. If you take a course for no credit, you may forego a letter grade as well as progress toward the credit quota for your degree. But that doesn’t mean a no-credit course holds no value. Here are four ways you can still benefit:

Educational development.

To move forward in your degree program, you may need to acquire a skill that your fellow students already have. And doing so with a traditional class can mean tuition money you just can’t spare. A no-credit course outside the normal school routine can be a great solution.

2.

Workforce development.

Build job skills needed for employability, help secure a promotion, or explore a career change. No-credit classes are an excellent way to show initiative, and to learn outside of your often-busy business hours.

3.

Personal development.

Reading a book can be enough for some, but others prefer a classroom (real or virtual) with instructions to guide them and fellow students to push them. Online courses for no credit, especially when free, offer a zero-commitment way to learn new things.

4.

Cost.

Most online college courses taken not for credit are very low-cost (and may even be free) compared to courses taken for college credit. This keeps the real commitment relegated to the time spent learning and completing coursework.
