Most colleges and universities are incorporating online degree programs as that is the growing trend that seems to cater best to today’s “modern day” student. As such educators, students and their families will have more to evaluate as they explore all the available options. To help, Edudemic thought it would research and create a resource page that discusses online colleges and programs and the truth behind the often touted selling point of “affordability”.
They want students to be able to gain valuable insight into their education, especially when it comes to affordable education, tuition, financial aid, cost vs. benefit, as well as career development from an online degree.
Applications Due Today!
