Online degree
An online degree is an academic degree (usually a college
degree, but sometimes the term includes high school diplomas and
non-degree certificate programs) that can be earned primarily or
entirely through the use of an Internet-connected computer, rather than attending college in a traditional campus
setting. Improvements in technology, the increasing use of the Internet
worldwide, and the need for people to have flexible school schedules
while they are working have led to a proliferation of online colleges that award associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.
Quality of learning online
Online education enables individuals living with physical disabilities,
busy full-time employees, soldiers, those living abroad, and
stay-at-home parents, among others to have access to accredited higher
education.
