There are many differences between distance learning students and those who enroll in traditional, "brick-and-mortar" programs at state universities and colleges. The distance learner is typically older, already working in an established career, and has a family obligations at home. For these students, self-paced online and correspondence programs are a perfect fit.Self-paced programs offer students the opportunity to pursue higher education without taking time off from work, missing important family events or being tied to a cohort arrangement in which they have to work on class projects with other students.There are typically two kinds of degree programs: term-based, which carry a time limit ranging from six to twelve weeks; and self-paced, which have courses with lenient time limits and provide students with a great amount of flexibility.Self-paced programs offered through independent and distance learning programs provide students a degree of convenience they would not be able to take advantage of in a traditional degree program.Here is a closer look at some recommended institutions which offer affordable, convenient, and flexible self-paced programs.The courses are semester-based and run 15 weeks (accelerated courses run between five and eight weeks). COSC only charges per credit hour for their courses, otherwise students pay matriculation fees which cover the cost of academic advisement, an evaluation of a student’s transcripts and maintaining a student’s new transcript for a year.The annual fees for associate degrees range from $685 to $965 for non-residents of Connecticut. COSC is regionally accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. There are numerous degree concentrations available and graduations occur every two months.
