How to Earn a Degree at Home at Your Own Pace
Identify exactly why you're seeking a degree. Are you interested in personal growth for its own sake, or is this degree intended for career advancement?
Determine what degree would be best for your purposes. At the undergraduate level, you might pursue an associate's degree (which normally takes full-time students approximately two years to complete) or a bachelor's degree (four years). You also need to figure out what course of study you prefer, i.e., business, communications, liberal arts, etc.
Search for an appropriate online college using College Navigator, an online database maintained by the U.S. Department of Education. Be sure to click on 'More Search Options' and click the box labelled 'Distance Learning.'
Examine each of the search results to find the most appropriate school. Factors to consider include the rigor of the program (look especially at the accreditation status), tuition and financial aid, and the retention rates. The 'Admissions' tab will offer information on standards for successful applicants to the program.
Apply to the program of your choice. Once you're accepted, you'll be able to proceed with earning your degree at a pace that fits your lifestyle. Some students may only take a course or two at a time, while others are able to handle heavier course loads.
