Have you wondered how distance degrees really stack up in real life? Does anyone actually take distance learning seriously? Can anyone really earn a college degree at home and find a worthwhile job?

You may be surprised to know that distance learning is not only accepted by most colleges and universities, but it is rapidly gaining popularity among even the most elite American universities. Ivy League schools such as Cornell, Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania. In fact, Columbia University now offers more than 60 online degree courses.

More and more majors are being offered online as well. Once, only general programs, such as Bachelor of Arts Degrees, were available through online university degree programs. Today, students can earn a degree online in computer science, management, health careers, or education.

Distance learning degree programs are here to stay, and colleges all over the country are taking note. More than 5 million people are currently enrolled in online degree universities throughout the United States. As transportation costs continue to rise, and the uncertain economy makes a good education more necessary than ever, we can only expect to see this trend continue to increase.
