What to Look for When Choosing an Online Degree Program

By Matt Norman

Choosing an online education program should be exciting and fun. While there a many good, recognized diploma or degree programs available through online education, choosing the one which is right for you can seem like a daunting task.

There are many factors which you should take into consideration, when choosing your online college. For example, you'll need to consider which technologies are used in the program. Does the institution use print, audio, or video delivery media? How will you interact between the instructor and the rest of the class? Will it be via asynchronous means, such as email, listservs, or newsgroups, via synchronous delivery methods, like streaming online audio and video, or shared whiteboards? The technological delivery of the course content will be key to your decision, as it will determine the amount and frequency of your interaction with the instructor and other students.

You should also be diligent about researching the college's accreditation and its reputation. In order to be certain that you are getting the best education possible, you must be certain that the institution has some sort of official recognition. Accreditation is the process through which a college's educational programs are evaluated to ensure that certain standards are upheld. This process is usually done by a form of peer review, and the standards tend to vary from awarding body to awarding body. Being aware of the university's accreditation is usually a good indicator of what sort of value that you are getting for your tuition.

Likewise, it is very important to check out your instructor's credentials and experience in the field, as well. Your experience of the course will depend upon his or her knowledge and delivery style, so make sure that you know with whom you will be working.

Finally, you may want to consider speaking with one of the college's former students, as this will give you an insider's look into the program and the university. Alumnae are often honest about their experiences- whether good or bad- and they can give you a better idea of what to expect from the course.

Pursuing a degree online can be a rewarding and memorable experience, especially if you do your homework before logging-in to the course.
