Online College Guide

With a growing wage gap between those who have a degree and those with only a high school diploma, the decision to go on to college is easy. The challenge lies in finding a college that offers your degree program, at a price point you can afford, and the flexibility you need. With more and more people working full time and going to school, online colleges become an attractive proposition. Flexible class times, remote access and multiple degree offerings make them almost as comprehensive as a traditional school, often without the exorbitant price tag.
