Here are some things to look for in a distance education program when comparing colleges:



Financial Aid - Find out what the school's financial aid options are. Use this information in your comparison of universities.

Are There Only Online Classes Avaialble? - This is a red flag. Even if the University or college is fully accredited. If they offer online classes only, that might make a negative impression on a future prospective employer.

How Are The Classes Presented? - Find out what formats the classes will be taught in. Will they be presented online, through email or mailed instructions. Find this out ahead of time so that you will be sure that the format the classes are presented will work with your availability.

Accreditation - Make sure the school has regional accreditation above all. National is nice, but regional is the most important.

Look At The Brick and Mortar Schools First - Check out the programs offered by brick and mortar schools. There are 100's of US schools now that offer online degrees. They also happen to not be the ones that do the most advertising, you have to do the research to find them.

Decide if Distance Learning or Online Education Is Right For You - Try taking a few online courses and see how you are able to do. See if it works with your personality and study habits before you commit to a whole program.
