Home | Reference & Education | Weather Don't rule out an online university just because its name is not familiar. Some very well known colleges and universities offer online degrees, but there are also some excellent online degree programs at colleges which are not yet household names. Put together a list of at least five questions to ask the admissions personnel at the colleges you are considering. Compare their answers. When speaking with a college recruiter, ask every question on your list, and be sure they are answered thoroughly. Ask follow up questions if necessary. Remember, your goal is to come away with all the facts you need. Don't make the mistake of eliminating a college from consideration too quickly because of cost. Be aware that scholarships, grants, loans, tuition installment programs, and the number of credits granted for prior study or life experience should all be factored in when determining affordability. Take good notes when speaking with admissions representatives and reading college publications. Otherwise, things are likely to run together and you'll be confused about which colleges offers which features. Be sure...damn sure...you are willing to put in the time and work necessary to complete an online degree program. You don't need the mind of Albert Einstein, but motivation and self-discipline are essential to your success. Do some serious thinking before choosing a major field of study. Consider your immediate and long range educational and professional goals, and the education you will need to achieve them. Studies have shown that the best students are very meticulous about scheduling time to complete their assignments and sticking to their schedules. Map out your schedule and stick with it. If you have been out of school for a few years, don't be intimidated. Just be sure to keep up with your assignments and ask questions whenever you do not understand the material.
