You wish you could, but you can’t. Your constant apprehension gets in the way each and every time that thought of advancing your education through an online medium comes to your mind. Why your apprehension didn’t come as a surprise, the myths that gave birth to it are simply unbelievable. But I’m here to clear your doubts. After reading this, you will have no reason to want to wait to find the best online program that‘s suitable for you.

Below are the top 4 myths about online education.

Myth #1—You must stay glued to your computer screen
This is exactly the opposite of what’s being preached here. If the truth must be told, once you get yourself enrolled in an online program, you can work at your own pace; regular campus university lectures are predetermined by the professor, so also can you fix your own schedules. For online programs, the classroom could be anywhere—home, vacation, or work; the decision is entirely yours!

Myth # 2—Most employers won’t accept online degrees
Before now, online degrees were relegated to the background and considered unaccepted by most employers, but times have changed and in this day and age, they’ve gained credibility, owning to the high quality associated with the system. The system is designed with the needs of a working class adult learner in mind. And also developed with the consultation of experienced professionals that ensure that students learn what is required to succeed in a working environment.

Myth #3— Online education is very faster and less credible
Online degrees can happen so fast, but truly, and for the most part, it takes as long as a campus degree. When you consider the work schedules of most students, you’ll quite agree it is impossible to devote all day to their online degree programs. But this has got nothing to do with its credibility— not less credible than an on-campus degree.
According to carreerbuilder.com, employers are quite impressed by the fact that an employee has taken the advantage of the internet to expand his knowledge and advance his career forward.

Myth #4—The virtual classroom is not personalized in any way
For the fact that you’re not in a classroom with your fellow students, and also a teacher, it does not mean that personal attention is relegated to the back ground. So many online teachers, most often than not leave questions and comments in the appropriate section at the end of the lesson, and also provide students with their email address for students to contact them.

Don’t let these myths deter you, advance your career in the best way you can, as you exploit the opportunities an online education brings to the table.
