December 12, 2008, Newsletter Issue #136: Achieving an Accelerated Degree Online

Tip of the Week

Students who wish to achieve an accelerated degree online have a large number of options available to them but they also have to do quite a bit of research to ensure they are selecting a program which is not only legitimate but also ideal for their specific needs. The first step in obtaining a degree online should involve a great deal of research. Similar to the way a traditional student would evaluate potential colleges, online students should also carefully evaluate the online programs they are considering. Most importantly it is important to seek out an accredited program which is, ideally, associated with a well known traditional college. This is important because it will help to ensure potential employers will recognize the degree you obtain. Additionally, it is important because the name recognition of a particular college can have a positive impact on career aspirations.

Care should also be taken to ensure you are capable of meeting all of the requirements of the online degree program. This is important because difficulty in completing the assignments as a result of insufficient computer capabilities can prevent the student from completing the required coursework. Also, some online programs may require students to be available to attend lectures in live online sessions. In these cases, the student must be sure his schedule will accommodate these lecture times.

Finally, students who wish to obtain an accelerated degree online should realize there will be a significant amount of hard work and dedication involved. The student must be prepared to complete all assignments and apply himself to learning the necessary course material. Failure to do so can make it difficult for the student to pass the courses he needs to complete to obtain his degree.
