  • Self-paced learning: In an online program, you can typically go as fast or as slow as you need to, within the parameters set by your instructor. When you need to review the material again, you can do so. If you’re ready to move ahead to the next concept, go for it.
  • Cost savings: Online learning eliminates the need for you to commute to campus or pay for housing on campus. Online learning credit hours also typically cost less than in-person classes.
