Online education can be very convenient, which is part of the reason why interest in online psychology degrees has grown. These programs can be particularly appealing to those who work full-time and those who live in rural areas. Thanks to distance education, students can take classes and pursue a degree anytime, anywhere.
In addition to the many online-only schools, many traditional "brick-and-mortar" institutions are expanding their course and degree offerings online. According to one report by the American Psychological Association, some of the key characteristics of quality online programs include faculty support, access to library resources, student support, strong curriculum, effective instruction and assessment. In addition to these factors, it is important to assess your own situation and abilities including your learning needs, the type of degrees available, the financial costs and the school's accreditation status.
