Getting Better Understanding of Online Colleges

The presence of accredited online colleges in various states is slowly being felt by many.  Among the said popular colleges online are the University of Phoenix and Capella University.  Despite becoming in demand by students these days, these schools are facing rumors that are in no way factual.  Such myths have become barriers for others not to consider E-learning as an important tool to reach one’s dreams.

The first myth about these school types is that enrolling in accredited online colleges is deemed to be luxurious.  Enrolling in such schools is not that expensive when you try to compare it with regular university fees.  Approximately, your expenditure could be from $60,000 or more depending on the course.  The figure is very much lower compared with what you will actually pay with the regular universities.                                                

Another myth is that accredited online colleges are less valuable in the job market.  This is a big misconception because in the first place, these online colleges are tagged accredited.  Meaning they have passed through a strict evaluation from the Commission on higher learning.  So every student earning a degree from such school has also passed such evaluation; therefore he is more than qualified to be given the chance to earn a good position in the job market.

Third, individuals fear of enrolling into such online institutions because the professors are always inaccessible.  This is again a misconception because online colleges as part of their accreditation have to see to it that professors should be ready at all times to assist their students in their learning disabilities and more.  A concrete example is what University of Phoenix is applying.  Their professors answer the emails of their students within a 24 hour school policy.  Furthermore, professors conduct their seminars and discussions in a virtual classroom so you could communicate with him openly through the use of a webcam. 

It is important for future students to note that the situations given are only myths about what is really going on in virtual colleges.  These should not stop them from considering such type of learning as it will bring them more benefits than what is expected.
