Hi,
I wonder if you can help me.
I am interested in taking a Sport Science Bachelor Degree. I understand that because of the nature of this course the best option would be studying on campus, but I’d like to do this in my part time from home if possible
Is it possible to study this on a distance learning? If so, how good do you think a DL course for this field is for a career prospect?
Do you know any good University that offers this course?
Do you know the cost of this?

Many professionals who already have a bachelor’s degree are turning to distance learning MBA programs in order to get their master’s in business on their own time or while working a job that may be very demanding.

Many accredited universities are beginning to offer distance learning MBA courses in an attempt to reach students who are not able to attend on campus classes for a wide variety of reasons. Many institutions that offer distance learning MBA courses are considered a distance learning college, but many traditional educational institutions are also offering distance learning courses that allow alumni to get a distance learning MBA from their alma matter. However, many times a degree from a distance learning college carries the same weight as a degree earned by students who had the opportunity to attain the same degree in a traditional classroom setting. In fact, some employers and industries actively recruit graduates from a distance learning college because of the ability and discipline it takes to graduate from a distance learning program, especially a distance learning MBA. Graduating by taking advantage of distance learning courses also shows a lot of determination and the drive to succeed, which are the kind of qualities many companies like to see in their new recruits.

However, because of many factors, there are many different distance learning formats you can take advantage of to get your distance learning MBA. Correspondence courses have always been very popular, but many distance learning colleges also offer e learning courses, which mean that it is a strictly online class. Many professionals with busy schedules prefer e learning courses because of the convenience and the ability to access class information from any location with an internet connection.

Other programs take advantage of a technology called Live Interactive Television. Live Interactive Television allows students to view a real time lesson by an instructor in a distant location. This technology makes it possible for students to ask questions and interact with instructors, which bridges the distance that separates them. Although this format takes some time to get used to, it can allow an instructor to reach a very large audience, as well as exposing students to instructors and guest speakers that they normally would not have access to. It also allows much of the structure that comes along with a traditional classroom.

Still, some distance learning MBA programs include televised courses. Televised courses allow students to record lessons and watch them at their convenience. While televised courses are somewhat more convenient than Live Interactive Television, televised courses do not permit students to ask questions in real time.

Furthering yourself by seeking a distance learning MBA can be challenging, but many employers and professionals see the difference between an MBA and a bachelor’s degree like the difference between a bachelor’s degree and a high school diploma.

Jack Smith asked:


Have you been thinking about going for a distance learning program? That’s all good and fine, but you should know that distance learning is a wide field that demands attention to detail before you take the plunge.

First of all, you have to be sure about what it is that you want to do. Do you want to write your GED exams? Do you want to get a degree? Or perhaps you are interested in a certificate course? Whatever it is that you want to get in terms of qualifications from a distance learning program, with an online distance learning program, you can do anything that you want to.

What kind of learner are you?

Passive learner: The passive learner is that individual who thrives excellently well in isolation from other students. A passive learner is a text oriented student. It really does not take much for a passive learner to pass examinations. Reading through paper based or online text on any subject matter is enough for this learner to grasp the concept behind the subject and pass an examination with flying colors.

Active learner: The active learner is quite the opposite of the passive learner. The active leaner needs a variety of resources to plough through before any concrete idea about a particular subject can even be grasped. Active learners are more socially inclined than passive learners and tend to do better when they communicate with other fellow students. They often patronize educational resources that bring them into close contact with people such as chatrooms, instant messaging and discussion boards. This type of learner is more inclined to attend a lot of seminars and conferences to get that interactive feel that enhances his learning or capacity.

Knowing the type of learner you are ultimately helps you to choose a distance learning program that is best suited to you. Once you are able to ascertain what enhances your learning, you can pass any examination with flying colors.

You can select from an array of high school programs if that is your plan. If a degree is what you have set your mind on, then rest assured that you will have a myriad of options to select from. The fact about the matter is that there are so many options of learning online that you may actually be confused about which one to select.

Certificate courses are also in abundance on the internet. You can find a certificate course in network security, criminology, financial planning, project management, forensic nursing, teaching, marketing, java or even human resource management. Various options also exist for those who want to earn a masters degree.

There are several universities and colleges that you can choose from online as many of them are scrambling to offer distance learning programs on the internet. In searching for an online distance learning provider, you need to proceed with caution. You may fall victim to a scam if you aren’t careful. Make sure that you patronize those distance learning programs that are accredited for the best education.

I need to take for the summer a business course, “Operations Management” and I want to find an institution that offers or supports continuing education credits where I can transfer those credits to the University that I am currently at. I am aware of the well-known schools like Devry and the University of Phoenix, but are there any others (inexpensive)?
