Distance learners rarely have to travel to campus and they study and interact as their schedules allow. Whichever model you choose, distance learning can make college life fit your life. You enroll at a member college, take that school s courses and earn credits toward a degree at that school. As with on-campus courses, tuition rates vary among institutions. Courses are offered within the traditional semester schedule.
Courses fill quickly, so enroll early.
If you don't have a computer, there is an affordable option. A Web TV device can turn your television into an Internet port. You can visit your virtual classroom, send and receive email, and surf the Web all at a fraction of the price of a computer. Ask your college or local electronics shop for details. As with any for-credit college course, you will be asked to demonstrate your mastery of the material.
