Going back to school is an exciting opportunity to grow your professional skills and career readiness, meet new people, and dive into a topic that interests you. While you may have an image in your mind of what going to college looks like, modern technology and flexibility in learning have shaped what this opportunity looks like for various types of students.
For example, you may choose between Everglades University’s online and in-person programs. Which modality is right for you? Explore the following considerations to aid your decision.
Consider Your Current Work Schedule and Responsibilities
If you currently work full-time or have other significant responsibilities, online learning may give you more flexibility to maintain your current schedule. You can complete online classes from anywhere, eliminating the commute time. You also don’t need to worry about killing time on campus between classes, as you can return to your normal routine.
However, if you have a relatively open schedule, choosing in-person classes can provide a more immersive experience. You’ll have the chance to attend campus networking opportunities and take advantage of the university’s on-campus resources.
Map the Distance to Our Campus
At Everglades University, we have five in-person learning sites across Florida, including our:
- Boca Raton Main Campus
- Sarasota Branch Campus
- Orlando Branch Campus
- Tampa Off-Campus Instructional Site
- Miami Off-Campus Instructional Site
Depending on your degree program and required classes, you may have some flexibility in where you complete online classes. Speak with an advisor, then map the distance between your home and your on-site locations. The commute time will impact whether online or in-person programs make more sense.
Think About How You Learn Best
Many people learn better through in-person classes than online, while remote learning is more comfortable for others. Think about how you learn best. Are you able to focus better through an interactive classroom experience? Do you easily become distracted with online programs? Or do you prefer the peace and quiet of learning online?
Online programs may seem easier at a glance, but the learning process may be more challenging for some. If you need external motivation to help you focus, self-paced online programs may not be the best fit.
Consider Hybrid Learning Options As Well
If you are still having trouble choosing between Everglades University’s online and in-person programs, consider a hybrid program instead. This type of program combines in-person and remote learning. Some of your classes will be online, while others will be in a classroom at one of our five Florida locations.
