Salary comparison for various online subjects and programs

The salaries that graduates in particular online subjects and programs get will clearly depend on the job they finish up in. After five or so years, many people find themselves working in jobs that have little to do with their degree. However, in general terms, there are differences in the salaries of people with various degrees and statistics are available to show the differences. For example, in Canada, graduates of an MBA earn approximately CDN$82,000 whereas Master of Science graduates earn over CDN$63,000. See the chart in the right-hand column for further details.

Campus versus online subjects and programs

Online learning does not suit everyone.  For those students who feel that they would like to study on campus, the website also has a section on campus programs.

Because of technology convergence and the huge advances made in information and communication technology (ICT), distance education has changed remarkably over the last decade.  Online learning now makes it possible for learners to take a wide selection of programs online from a distance education college anywhere. And because of the interactions made possible by Web 2.0, online learning can be a social activity.

Some online courses include synchronous interaction using web-conferencing (either video of audio) and some on campus courses include online elements in their delivery. In some cases, both online and on campus courses have moved to become "blended learning" courses. So the distinction between on campus and online has blurred in terms of delivery modalities.
