Sometimes I read some heated comments / discussions on online degree programs. Is it good? Is it better or worse than traditional education? The answer is very simple: it depends on the student!
I am a student at UoPeople. I’m already in my early 40s and I earned my bachelor degree in business roughly 20 years ago. I’ve built a solid and international professional career and I am a new father.
I really wanted to pursue a new degree in computer science and I am so glad that I found UoPeople. It suited me perfectly.
I have to say, though, that online education is not for everyone. It requires a few qualities that not everyone has (or wants to develop): discipline and self-motivation.
UoPeople is excellent in my opinion, and from my perspective. It is an accredited American university that has academic partnerships with some of the most prestigious universities on the planet. It is tuition free. It allows students to have a flexible schedule. It sounded just like music to my ears.
If you are a curious self-motivated person that is willing to accept the level of discipline that such commitment requires, I have to say: you will have a rewarding experience.
