Online degree options vary by school. Before you commit to an institution, make sure it offers the specific program you want to study, including any majors or minors you want to pursue.
Consider your future goals
Online schools in Michigan can help you qualify for new positions or take your current career to the next level. But every school is different, so research your options to make sure your online college is worth it.
For example, consider whether each potential school requires campus visits or in-person classes. Some colleges require online students to visit campus for an orientation at the beginning of their program. These experiences can build a sense of connection among classmates, but they can also be expensive and difficult to fit into a busy schedule.
Additionally, the number and types of degrees available vary by school. Make sure that any college you want to attend offers the major you want to pursue so you can qualify for jobs in your desired field.
