Program Types: From Preparation Programs to PhDs

In this section you can find out about program types, e.g., Associate Degrees, Bachelor's Degrees and graduate degrees. This section should be of use to you whether you are thinking of studying online or on-campus.

 

Choosing program types

There are several program typesThe programs that people take vary according to many things, including: needs, interests, qualifications and experience.  And the mode you take, i.e., on-campus, distance or online, depends on your lifestyle as well as location.  Most adult learners nowadays would rather choose taking an online college degree than going on-campus for their masters or other degree program. It gives them the flexibility they need.

So the type of program that you take may depend on what you want it for and also on the qualifications that you already have.  You may just want to obtain some technical skills by taking a short course, and you may not need any previous qualifications to do that. But clearly, if you want to take a Masters degree, you will most likely need to have a Bachelors degree first.
