Online education isn’t for everyone.
A good candidate for online college is an independent learner who is motivated and self-disciplined. But others may still find that they miss the structure of a traditional class.
Most online courses are loaded on reading and writing. Instead of attending lectures, you may just be reading a text and responding to it. Is this format a good way for you to absorb information? If not, search for online programs that use audio/video lectures and multi-media content.
Also, you must know what comes after your online associate’s degree. Most students are earning their associates in order to enter a certain career. Know where you want to go and what credentials are required for jobs in that field before you choose your online associate’s program.
