Ask to see a two-year schedule of course offerings so that you know how quickly you can finish your degree. There are only a few college and universities in the nation that now offer full degrees. Third, ask about student services. Distance barriers are overcome. Students can work together even though they are in different locations.
Cost savings can be significant.
Travel costs go away, as do child care costs. The learning environment is active, student centered, and leading edge. The comfort level goes up. Students can work at their own pace, at their own best times. There is time for reflection before responding to questions.
