If you already have college credits from a while back and you’re thinking about finishing your degree to bring your education and career to the next level…
But don’t have the time, tuition money or flexibility to go back to school in-person, then finishing your degree online may be a great option for you.
You see, many of today’s online colleges will accept college credits you’ve already earned. And that’s even if you’ve earned your credits at a two-year community college, a four-year university, or even grad school!
What’s better, because of the flexibility and often lower costs per credit hour[1] often associated with online learning, enrolling in an online college course to finish your degree means you could be saving a lot of time and money.
So, if you’ve got college credits, and want to transfer them to an online college to complete your degree, School Match Pro is here to help!
Now, before we show you how to find an online college that not only accepts transfer credits, but offers the degree programs you’re looking for, we should explain what online college courses are.
While they’ve become wildly popular over the past few years, many of us still don’t really know what to expect when it comes to online learning. But don’t worry. Online college is a lot like in-person college… but many people think it’s even better!
In fact, a survey by Tyton Partners shows that way over half of students prefer fully online, hybrid or blended learning over in-person, on-campus learning.[2]
And if you’re an adult learner, online college may be even more attractive to you.
With that said, here’s a quick rundown of what online college courses are:
Like in person college courses, online college courses are a series of classes, assignments, and lectures on a specific topic of study.
They’re designed to help you increase your knowledge-base and expertise about the focus subject matter. And they allow you to do so from the comfort of your home, or anywhere you choose that has internet access.
The curriculum and required coursework for an online course is, for the most part, almost exactly what you’d be taught on a campus.
In a nutshell, the difference between online and in-person college courses is minimal.
However, there is often a big difference between online courses and in-person courses. And it’s a difference that you may really like.
As we said earlier, online college credits can be cheaper than in-person college credits. A lot cheaper. For example, you could save over 40% per credit hour with online courses over in person courses at some schools.[3]
And if you need a lot of credits to graduate, those savings can really add up!
But even if you only need a few credits to graduate, taking online college courses really has its benefits.
