Posted by lisbonadmin in College and University on February 18, 2011
Due to the success of distance education, the number of long distance colleges and universities also has seen a huge rise in the recent past. Recent research too has shown that the number of students enrolled with distance learning programs will see a huge jump in the next decade. Today most educational institutions are realizing the importance of technology aided education, and are willing to start online versions of their on-campus programs. The trend which was pioneered by the University of Phoenix is now being followed by almost every educational institution.
It’s a Sea of Choices
Since most colleges want to broaden their student base, they couldn’t ask for a better way to do so than by throwing open their gates to students of their virtual classrooms. Today long distance colleges and universities are more open towards accepting non-traditional students into their fold. The United States Open University offers degrees in various subjects like Business, Psychology, Mathematics, Statistics, Arts, Languages, History and Information Technology amongst others. The Strayer University too has a presence online and aims at catering largely to working adults through its online programs. It has degrees in subjects like Acquisition and Contract Management, Internetworking Technology, Economics, Accounting, and Public Administration.
Other long distance colleges and universities include names like Capella University, Canyon College, Thomas Edison State College and California National University amongst others. Degrees are on offered at various levels, be it Associate, Bachelor’s or Master’s to cater to the varying needs of the student community. Though a large number of the online students’ population consists of adults, working or non-working, distance education caters to the fresh out of high school generation as well. Distance education is a great equalizer and it allows a uniform platform to people from various races, social backgrounds and nationalities to pursue their dreams of higher education further.
The Latest Technologies
Courses offered by long distance colleges and universities aim at providing the same educational environment to their online students as to their on-campus students. The latest technology is being employed by most of these colleges to deliver lectures, discussions and debates in real-time to students sitting far across the world. Today it is possible for a person living in Africa to pursue a degree with UCLA or the Boston University. Distance learning has been a blessing for all the people dreaming of higher education, but not finding the means to partake of it.
