Online Degree Programs: Who Are They a Good Fit For?

High School Graduates

Individuals who are nearing higher school graduation or have already graduated are good candidates for online programs. These individuals must be self-disciplined and willing to put the time in within an environment outside of a typical classroom. 

Community College Graduates

Students who have already completed two-year degrees are good candidates for online degree programs. These individuals can work while completing most programs, which can be beneficial on the financial side. 

Transfer Students

Individuals looking to transfer out of their current university, or those who have completed part of their bachelors or associates degrees are also good candidates for online degree programs. Students must check with the university of which they are applying to learn about transfer credits prior to enrolling. 

Graduates & Working Professionals

Students who have graduated with their bachelors who are currently working full-time are good potential audiences for online masters programs. As these programs can be completed in a flexible manner while individuals continue to work, students can earn an income while continuing their education.

Public Universities

These state run institutions provide students with the opportunity to complete all levels of degree programs from associates all the way to doctoral programs.
