How useful are degrees earned from distance learning programs?

We Answered:

The utility of the degree will depend on the quality of the college awarding it. Some very fine universities are teaching their MBA online (Duke, UMass, etc...) and some very poor universities are also teaching online (you've seen some on TV commercials).

It's all about the quality of the institution and not so much about online vs classroom. Everyone and his brother is teaching online these days, especially at the master's level.

Now, if you don't have time to attend class - question whether you have time to complete a quality MBA. The time I spent in the classroom was nothing compared to the out-of-class time for those classes. The few courses I completed online (for the MBA) were not less time consuming than their classroom counterparts - in fact, they required even more time. That has been my experience at all levels in all subjects considering online vs classroom.

You may find that courses grounded in theory (org behavior) are much easier than practical courses (finance) done online. But, those theory courses tend to be heavy on the research and paper writing side.

Online classes give you the distinct advantage of location flexibility and time flexibility. You can do the work from anywhere at any time. They don't offer an advantage of ease or time consumption. The reason that they don't is because they absolutely require that you read the texts yourself (no lectures) with self-study and the assessment method usually involves extensive paper writing as opposed to the classroom common 'multiple guess quiz'.

Online classes require more of my time in a given week than does classroom instruction. That said, I much prefer 1) the flexibility of online and 2) the individual pace of online.

Before you consider which MBA program is for you, consult the Official MBA Guide, a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications.

Clifton Said:

Are there classroom or distance learning options available for the EMT-Basic certification?

We Answered:

Unfortunately, there's no way to earn an EMT-Basic certificate through a online class. There are too many skills that need hands on practice to learn. Any class that advertises as a completely online class isn't going to teach you what you need to become an EMT.

For EMT classes, contact your local community college. Most offer classes. You also might check with the local fire department...some offer classes, but I'm sure that even if they don't, they will know where to go to find a class.

You can usually find a class to work around any schedule...

Hope this helps...
