Since the Internet explosion, online colleges and distance learning has afforded people of all ages the opportunity to gain the education they crave form the comfort of their home. Whether you are just wanting to brush up or get your degree, there is an online college out there for you.

Convenience

Online colleges are perfect for working adults or others otherwise unable to travel to a classroom every day or week. Stay-at-home moms have found a way to complete the education they never thought they could. Seniors are going back to school and staying sharp.

Flexibility

Many online colleges offer the option of beginning classes at any time, rather than set semesters of going to school on campus. The teachers and professors of online colleges usually do just that: teach online courses; they, too, have left the confines of the classroom.

Virtual Classrooms

Like never before, today the virtual classroom brings the college learning experience into your home, offering live chats that allow students and teachers to interact in real time. Video conferencing puts faces to the names; it's the next best thing to being there.

Degree or Vocational Training

Online colleges offer a wide range of certificate, degree and vocational programs or continuing-education classes. From automotive to earning a doctorate or a law degree, it's there for the taking.

Pay for School

The struggling high school graduate or the single parent who could never otherwise afford to go to college can work full time to pay for tuition; in most cases, an on-campus structure would not allow for full-time employment.
