Overview
Online education has several advantages compared to traditional campus-based colleges. These advantages include courses with flexible scheduling and the ability to access degree programs that may not be available locally. For people who work during the day, these factors allow them to access courses whenever it works best for them. Online degree programs work very similar to traditional colleges; except for the fact that courses are taken over the internet.
Most online colleges have an educational portal where students access lectures and download assignments and handouts. To promote student-teacher and student-student interactions, some courses require a minimum participation in online chat sessions. For lectures, times vary depending on the course and the teacher. Some teachers require students to attend lectures at specific times, while others allow students to access lectures online on their own schedule. If the online degree program is connected to a local college or university in Oregon, students may also have access to teachers on campus during office hours.
For people who live in Eugene, Portland or Salem, where there are several local colleges, online education is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to traditional campus-based degree programs. Browse our list of local and national colleges offering online degree programs below. For more information or to speak with an admissions counselor, click the request information button. Be sure to have questions in mind when speaking with an admissions counselor. This will ensure that you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. Some good questions include: how do students access their classes, what are the typical course schedules and lecture times and how much do students interact with teachers and classmates.
Accreditations and affiliations: when speaking with an admissions counselor be sure to ask about the types of accreditations and affiliations the school has completed.
