can someone tell me about online college?

For a degree program, you usually have to apply for admission (submit transcripts, etc.). I’m pretty sure if you do a survey of online colleges, some have open admissions too (everyone who applies is guaranteed admission to take classes for credit).

You should look into the requirements for your computer hardware and software. I just took an online course for credit and my browser and Java were ‘buggy’. Somehow, I got through the class.

An online course can be pretty demanding but at least you can do the work from home.

My opinion go to a state university or community college, I have worked in the online college industry for 5 years and it is not worth it!! I am in the process of leaving online and attending the community college, I realized that student housing, books, tuition, car insurance, and food will cost me only 13K and just an online degree (undergrad) will cost 30-60K online!! Don’t do it go GROUND and get a quality education, you do not need to pay 60K to learn how to write papers. **To add something many community colleges off “Online” classes. (general education)

The above answer is excellent and don’t forget to make sure that it is properly accredited, otherwise you will get ripped off and the degree or certificate will be worthless.
