Is Earning Your Degree Online Right For You?

If you communicate, read, and find information online in your daily life, then taking your education from a classroom to a computer can feel like a pretty natural progression.

Working and studying from the comfort of your own home or favorite coffee shop, on your own schedule, is a huge benefit. It unchains you from strict class schedules and locations found at traditional universities.

If you’re asking “Is an online university right for me?” read on.

Here are some ideas for how to be a thriving digital student, and why online learning might be right for you:

Brush Up on Basic Computer Skills

You don’t have to be extremely tech-savvy to succeed in online courses, but if you’re not comfortable with a computer, or it’s been a while since you’ve worked on one, you may want to practice basic computer and internet skills before signing up for a class. Make sure your computer and internet are working and ready to go before you start class. Some basic programs and skills you’ll want to know how to use include:

Internet Browsers
Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
Adobe Reader (For Viewing and Saving PDF Files)

Self-Motivation

If you’re waiting for work to free up, or family life to settle down before considering school, you may find yourself waiting indefinitely.

With the flexible schedule that comes with an online education at CSU Global, now is always a good time to obtain your degree. With no set class schedule, you can complete your program in your own time, when it’s most convenient for you.
