Consider your future goals
The online school you choose should help you achieve your academic and career goals. Choose a college that offers a degree in the field you want to study and, if applicable, a major or minor in your particular area of interest. Some schools emphasize practical experience and networking opportunities, which can bode well in your future job search.
If you plan to attend graduate school after earning your bachelor’s degree, prioritize research-based universities with programs that meet the prerequisites for the graduate degree you want to earn. You can even look for an undergraduate university that also offers the graduate degree you want to make the transition a little easier.
