Welcome to Online Degree Finder! June 22, 2009

Welcome to the Online Degree Finder’s new blog! Information about online college and distance learning is plentiful, but that’s just the problem - it’s so scattered that we felt there was a need to centralize the best and most helpful information for you! With this blog, we plan to bring you helpful articles, advice and tips for both traditional and non-traditional students, as well as industry news, trends and current events that will affect those of you pursuing your degree online.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, interest in distance education classes is growing substantially! Brick & mortar schools across the country are responding by adding online courses to their offerings, and enrollment numbers at online universities such as University of Phoenix and Kaplan are booming!

Not sure if an online degree is right for you? We plan to dispel the myths that keep many students from considering this type of degree. We want our site to be a community for online degree students (and those who are just looking) to come and learn from each other. Have a great experience taking an online class? Let us know! Have some “tough love” advice for others who are considering it? We’d love to hear your story.

Have a question or some feedback? Let us know by leaving a comment on this blog. Thanks for reading and welcome!
