• Can I take online classes even if I'm not enrolled as an online student?
  Yes, many students enjoy having the option of taking one or several of their classes online, even if the majority of their program is considered traditional. Many college programs today incorporate some element of online learning.
• How do I pick the best online college for me?

• Is an online degree credible?
  Before choosing any online program, make sure you research the school's accreditation. Regional accreditation is typically considered more prestigious than national accreditation, though for more career-oriented programs this may not matter as much. Also, make sure the school is accredited for your specific major if that is necessary in your chosen field (typically required for many medical fields for example).
