Common Questions:

1. Does My Degree Planner only have access to online universities?^Top

No, we do have access to campus degree programs as well as our extensive repository of online programs.

2. What exactly is online learning and how does it work? ^Top

Online learning means that the student and teacher use the internet as the primary method of communication and teaching in a particular course. Students have access to online classrooms where they can access live lectures, chat rooms, video and audio content, and communication with the professor. Your class may rely on a different number of online technologies for distributing course materials including email, chat-rooms, and videoconferencing. Most courses do not require both student and professor to be available at the same time as is the case with regular, campus classes. As an online learner, you may access course materials whenever you have time.

3. Are online courses as effective as traditional campus courses? Would I still learn the same amount? ^Top

Yes, online course are just as effective as regular campus courses, if not more so. You will be taught by an experienced professor, but will have the ability to learn on your own time. Because of this, you won’t need to worry about missing class as you might with regular courses, but will always have all course materials and lectures at your fingertips.
