Answer:
Both online and on-campus college courses can provide a rigorous education, respected degree, and good job prospects. Many top universities, such as Ohio State University and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, offer top-ranked online degree programs. Deciding which is the best fit for you depends on your personal life situation and ideal way of learning.
Online college courses are great for non-traditional students who have to balance college courses with other responsibilities, such as a full-time job or family. They are often more flexible with meeting times as long as work is completed. They can also be completed from anywhere, so students can take courses from community colleges and universities that are in another location through an online course.
Online courses do require students to be self-motivated, as there is less in-person accountability from the professor or other students. It can be more difficult to ask questions but many online platforms include a comments tool that helps students connect directly with their professors. One should consider if they are able to keep themselves accountable before enrolling in an online course.
