Lesson 2 Preparing for Online Learning
Saving Money by Learning Online

 

Can you save money through online learning?  Absolutely...

Your main expense for online learning will be for tuition.  Most online programs provide a clear breakdown of the tuition costs.  Don't be surprised if you find that the cost of tuition can rival that of traditional schooling.  You can, however, save money over a traditional university on such expenses as commuting costs, parking fees and child care -- not to mention the cost of your time!

Use the following online learning calculator to help you estimate how much you can save by taking college courses from your home.  Answer all questions that apply to your situation, then click the "Calculate Savings" button.  Your daily savings will be displayed.
