Online degrees have long been considered inferior to the 'real' thing. Part of the reason is the subterfuge and dishonesty associated with degree mills and online 'colleges' without accreditation.

But as we've read in this blog, over time, online educations are finally getting the respect they deserve.

The Jackson Channel provides an
encouraging article:In a time not so long ago, online degrees were questionable, frowned upon, even considered worthless. Could someone really sit at home, stare at a screen, and learn as much as someone sitting in a classroom?

Many educators doubted it. It seemed the lazy man's way of learning. But new research suggests that stigma is not only fading, but transforming into learning accolades.

Recently, an in-depth study from Sloan Consortium, a group supporting online education, confirmed what advocates of cyber-academics had been saying for years: Online learning can be just as good as -- if not better than -- a classroom degree.

As online learning continues to evolve into a well-respected educational option, perhaps the Sloan Consortium was on to something when it stated that almost one-third of academic leaders "expect that learning outcomes for online education will be superior to face-to-face instruction in three years." Perhaps your online degree will be worth even more than you think!

Just think: you're part of a revolution that continues to grow and improve. Congratulations!
