What is
an on-line Distance Learning institution and how does it
work? An
online distance learning institution does not operate a campus like
traditional educational institutions do. Due to the benefits of
online technology, applicants come from across the United States
and around the world. Anyone with a high school diploma and years of significant
experience, skills, knowledge, and/or expertise in a given field
of study can apply. Applicants are accepted from across the United
States and around the world. All students are evaluated on an
individual basis according to predefined criteria established by
each institution.
Life Experience degrees are awarded to
individuals who have demonstrated core competencies of skill and
knowledge in their prospective career field. Schools that offer
Life Experience Degrees use a Prior Learning Assessment to assess your
prior experience. Your prior experience can include: military
service, work experience, prior college, certificates of
achievement, travel, professional development courses and workshops, community and volunteer services, and much more. The
information the school reviews needs to be verifiable. Many
schools will request more information if they feel that the

Non-traditional Colleges and

free, but some will charge up to $100.00 per application. If you
have met the minimum requirements for the degree that you are seeking; you
can expect to receive your Diploma in 5 to 20 business days. The
actual number of days varies from school to school.
