An Accredited Online Degree Program Could Be Perfect For You

With the growth of the internet and greatly increased access to high speed connections, the accredited online college degree program has flourished. Distance education used to be the province of mail order courses which were often either unaccredited or “self-accredited”, but now the online accredited degree program is common. Just stay alert because not every program actually offers an online accredited degree and there is no point in wasting your time and money on an unaccredited degree.

Many traditional colleges and universities have yet to adapt to the current social realities. With the rising costs of education and the ever-growing number of students who are older and working in a profession or building a career, physically attending a college and classes can be difficult to impossible. For a college, it simply is not practical to offer enough physical classes and class times to suit every schedule. Even for those institutions that do offer evening and weekend classes, loading a full schedule of courses on top of a job, and having to get to and from classes and find time to do the homework can be a huge burden on a working student.

Understanding and Unleashing the Transformative Powers of Education

As a child, my parents always impressed upon me the importance of getting a good education. My father in particular, always told my siblings and I that we should strive to be number one in our studies. Because of the strict nature of my father, getting good grades was the rule, while getting low grades resulted in punishment. Needless to say, my siblings and I achieved honor role status throughout our K through middle school years. However, as I hit high school things began to change for me. I was no longer that little boy that followed my father’s every wish out of fear. By now, I had been hardened by the tough streets of Brooklyn and questioned whether getting a good (formal) education could take me out of this environment.

You see, in my community, I knew of few high school graduates, much less college graduates. My parents had limited education and struggled to provide for my siblings and I. Like many that grew up in poor communities, I experienced my fair share of pain and struggles. Like many of today’s youth that are dropping out of high school in record numbers, I too doubted the transformative powers of formal education touted by my parents and teachers. I did not believe that formal education alone could transform my socio-economic situation. As a result, I began to devalue formal education and withdrew (cutting classes regularly). Luckily, I began to realize the error in my thinking brought about by the intervention of a high school guidance counselor. I struggled to graduate high school, needing to attend summer school two years in a row in addition to night school. Nevertheless, I did graduate-But what next!?
