Return To Degrees FAQ Archive   Search the Archives What are the pros and cons of getting a degree? Answered By Devon Turnhill, Editor Online learning's primary attraction is flexibility. It allows you to work at the comforts of your home, at your convenience, at your own pace. A busy professional need not quit his job while finishing an MBA degree online. A housewife can still attend to her family and home while working on her masters degree online. It saves you also from a lot of money. Tuition fee is lesser compared to a regular university; no transportation fees going to school; lesser requirements and projects to spend on. Some distance learning programs even offer scholarships for qualified students. Moreover, a student controls the pacing of his education. He can speed up on topics that are easy for him, and he can slow down on those which are more complicated or has more requirements. On the other hand, others believe that distance learning deprives the student the social interaction that a regular school program offers. Because learning is done virtually through chatrooms and bulletin boards, there is lesser opportunities for more interactive classroom discussions and interactions with other students. Other distance learners easily lose interest or motivation because of the limited social interaction. Students also have a tendency to procrastinate especially since they control their own schedule and the system is less rigid than a regular school. keywords: Degree | Degrees | College | University | BA | BS | Bachelors | Diploma | Certificate Business Management Degree
