According to Senator Kennedy...

Senator Edward Kennedy (D. Mass), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee, recognizes the importance of distance learning as well as the pertinence of the National Distance Learning Week initiative.  “Online learning programs are invaluable because they provide a segment of or population with critical literacy and job-related skills as well as the means to take their careers to the next level”, said Senator Kennedy.  He also noted that “it is important that people have a greater awareness and appreciation for distance learning.”

There are several advantages to distance learning. As long as you have an Internet connection and a computer, you can study when you want and where you want. It also offers flexibility for those juggling other commitments such as a job or family responsibilities. There is also no waste of resources or time involved through commuting to class, transport costs and even parking fees. As an online student myself, I can assure you the fact that distance learning programs truly offer more flexibility then traditional programs. Also, distance learning can be less expensive than a traditional degree program with lower tuition fees and costs saved on accommodation, travel, parking, babysitting and the like as students will be studying from home. Scholarships and financial aid are also available for online students as they are for on-campus ones, so ask your admissions officer for more details
