Conduct a thorough research and learn more about the quality of the education you will be receiving.
If you already work in the field of study, ask your employer and colleagues about different schools. If you’re completing your bachelor’s degree, seek input from instructors and other students. Word-of-mouth is often the best way to gauge quality.
Look at some of the stats in an online master’s program. You want to be in a program that has a good history of student success, a high graduation rate. What is the ratio of teachers to students? Even though much of your work will be independent, you still want individual attention from instructors.
