Campus or Online: What's Best For You?

Employers today place greater value on a college education than ever before. Earning a bachelor's, master's or other higher degree from a respected university gives a boost to the career of any aspiring or working professional. Only a decade ago earning a degree meant, for most people, a period of dedicated study at a campus school. These days, if you have made the decision to pursue a higher education, you have a far greater choice; with campus universities offering flexible study arrangements and online schools offering the convenience of studying without ever having to leave the house. However, there is a lot more to choosing between a campus and online degree than convenience and accessibility. This questionnaire may prove helpful in deciding if a campus or an online format is right for you.

Please check "Yes"or "No" for each statement as it applies to you.
