Online vs Classic College

There really is no comparison between the two. I spent 3 years going to a 'real' university (U of MN) and I have spent the last 3 months going working on my masters at an online university (AMU), and really the curriculum, work required and educational benefit are like the difference between HBO and normal TV. Its not fair to compare the two.

The major problem (or benefit in my case) is that online schools care about one thing, and that is having students enrolled. There is no connection to a state, city or religion. Its all about having students enrolled to get a piece of paper.

So if you always thought a degree was out of your reach, have no fear, for $250 a credit hour, you too can be a college graduate.
