online degrees were previously known as “distance learning”. A type of education where students work on their own at home or at the office and communicate with teachers and other students by e-mail, chat rooms, instant messages, webcams, and other forms of computer-based communication. These programs are becoming very popular among student who do not wish to attend a traditional college. Although, many of the tradional schools are also offering online classes now. I know where I went to school there was a satalite campus that offered several classes I needed. However, this certain campus was almost fifty miles from my house. I made this commute several semesters. My senior year they offered online courses, and I was able to take my class in the library of the main campus.
