About VirtualStudent.com
VirtualStudent.com exists to help students complete college degrees as quickly and inexpensively as possible.
Bottom line: It’s all about the degree. Students need to complete degrees and families need to maximize their college investments.
We help students find ways to save money on college tuition by helping them earn credit with CLEP or DANTES exams, transfer courses and other innovative methods.
For some students, online education is a useful option. We help them find online degree programs by providing school profiles and links to very select colleges and their programs. No spam links here; we recommend only those schools whose distance learning reputations we trust.
Distance learning has changed the face of higher education. It has enabled students to earn degrees without the need to attend a college campus. It is a very powerful education revolution.
However, distance learning has not necessarily reduced the cost of college for online learning students. Tuition-wise, it is still business as usual for the colleges. Yet methods and resources exist to minimize the cost of college education. You just have to know where to look.
There is a great need for information about online education beyond the simple “fill out a form” Web sites. Minimizing cost and time to degree completion takes a little research and some work. But the good news is, it saves you significant money, and greatly increases the chances that you will avoid the “dropout zone,” and earn your college degree, online or otherwise.
Opinions and views expressed on this site are those of its administrators only. VirtualStudent.com is run by a team of highly experienced educators who have watched and participated as “distance learning” has emerged as a force in higher education.
Information provided in articles, profiles, and viewpoint pieces is accurate to the very best of our ability to make it so. However, as with everything else in the Internet age, things can change very quickly. We do our best to make sure that information, links, and resources we recommend are of the highest quality and create a net benefit to those who use them.
