Online degrees are more affordable than the campus
ones.
The classes are flexible and students can control their learning environment, moving through courses at their own pace. The accessibility of online degree courses is unprecedented, and at the same time you do not have to travel anywhere, you do not have to pay the rent and most importantly - you do not have to change your life in any way (be away from your family and friends for example, or to miss your favorite restaurant, or football team).
No one does even have to know that you are studying - you do not have to take absence from work, or to explain to your friends where you go every morning/evening - everything happens in the privacy of your home (or any computer with the Internet connection)
You do not have to change your lifestyle.
There are a lot of programs to choose from. We have witnessed that the number of online degree programs has increased rapidly in the last few years. Many reputable universities now offer their programs online and the cost of those programs is usually lower than the corresponding campus ones. The online learning methods have improved very much in the recent period and therefore the quality of the knowledge the graduates get has increased. Therefore, the employers now value online degree as much as the traditional ones.
