Online school is becoming much more of an everyday reality. Of college students, around 33% take at least one online course. You will face a lot of choices when you decide to pursue your bachelor’s degree online. More so than for traditional on-campus degree seekers, you will need to have an idea which major you would like to pursue. Beyond that question, you’ll need to decide which school will work best for the program you’re looking for and for the style of online learning that you think will work best for you.
Another area of concern for those interested in earning bachelor’s degrees online is the quality of those degrees. While you’ll certainly want to look for a certified and accredited school and program, you may also be looking for a degree from a big name school to stand out on your resume. There are more famous schools offering online degrees today than ever before. And if a world-class school is what you’re looking for, you can probably find an online program to work for you. We’ve got a list of well-known universities offering online degrees.
