Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I found this book to be a wonderful tool for learning the ins and outs of obtaining a college degree, specifically a doctorate, through an online school. With the increase in online education nationally this gives a would-be student hands on information that they can utilize in making a decision as to whether they want to learn online or by traditional means of attending a college campus. This is an excellent resource for adult learners who has plans to return to college and needs help in deciding whether they want to attend classes on campus or online. It gave great insight into the experiences of six doctoral candidates who obtained their doctorate online at one of the nations premiere online universities. I would recommend this book to anyone who plans to attend or return to college. With all of the online offerings today, why would anyone want to drive to a university or college and spend their day going from class to class and building to building when they can accomplish the same learning by sitting in the comfort of your own home and using your computer. Take those hours away from Facebook and return to college. It's a wonderful opportunity for everyone! This is a must buy for any high school graduate, college student, or adult learner planning to return to college.
