Variety of programs and courses: Almost every college offers a variety of online courses for varying degrees.
Lower total costs: In some cases, online programs can prove to be a more affordable option. Although tuition expenses may not always be lower.
More comfortable learning environment: As, someone who has taken online classes, I much prefer to take a 3-hour course from the comfort of my own couch rather than a hard, uncomfortable chair in a classroom.
Convenience and flexibility: Most higher education students are juggling a work/life balance in addition to their academic responsibilities.
More interaction and greater ability to concentrate: While many might argue that online learning does not provide enough opportunity for student interaction.
Career advancement: Online courses are accessible to anyone, especially those who are looking to switch careers, and get a degree to advance their career.
Continue in your profession: The advantage of taking online classes while you are working is that you do not have to choose between leaving your job and taking classes.
Avoid commuting: Whether you live in a big city or a rural suburb, commuting can not only be frustrating, but costly.
Improve your technical skills: Even a basic online course requires the development of new computer skills. Taking online classes exposes the student to learn how to use different learning management systems.
More Free Time: Because your schedule isn’t dictated by classes, you can spend more time doing the things you want. Plus, in addition to saving money, not having to commute also means saving time because you don’t need to travel to-and-from campus.
