Hello. I too am a student at the UOP. I'm hoping to work towards a
bachelor's degree after my associate's. Online cl***** are not for
everyone
though. Some students need the physical contact with teachers and other
students. However, I find it perfect for my situation. The University of
Phoenix is a good school, and I have been very satisfied with my education
through them. There is a lot more interaction with students and teachers
than I ever expected. The discussions we have through our newsgroups are
quite lively, and I get to meet people from all over the world. If anyone
is participating in online cl***** and finds it boring, by all means,
change
your education to what works best for you. I find online cl***** exciting
and challenging. I am able to work at my own pace at any time of the day I
want to. I have access to teachers during their office hours just like a
traditional school. I also have an academic counselor, that keeps in
contact
on a regular basis. I don't think that distance education will replace a
traditional education, because some students need a traditional
environment.
However, it is an excellent alternative for others. The im****tant thing is
to research the online college you are considering, just like you would
any
other type of school, make sure they are an accredited and approved school
before making a final decision. Good luck on your master's.
