Online Degrees have become overwhelmingly popular in recent years. Correspondingly, online universities are increasingly recognized among recruiters nationwide. In 2003, more than 30 million students were enrolled in over 6000 accredited online universities worldwide.

Surprisingly, online university degrees are not cheap. Because online courses are more labor intensive for professors and require daily Web site updates, many schools charge up to twice as much as they do for traditional courses. The advantage of going online is not tuition cost savings, but convenience, better management of your time, and the often shorter timeline needed to graduate.
