The Value of a College Degree
Many people ask themselves this question: “Should I get a college degree online?”
Deciding whether to pursue a college degree online involves weighing several factors based on your personal circumstances, goals, and learning preferences. The benefits of getting a college degree online include:
- Online programs often allow you to study at your own pace and on your own schedule as long as you meet assignment deadlines. This is especially beneficial if you are working, have family commitments, or need to balance other responsibilities alongside your education.
- You can access courses from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection. This eliminates the need to commute or relocate to be near campus, saving both time and money.
- Online learning platforms require you to use digital communication tools and learning management systems, which can enhance your technical skills. These skills are increasingly valuable in the digital age.
- Contrary to popular belief, online degrees can offer robust networking opportunities through virtual classrooms, online forums, group projects, and social media connections.
- With a wide range of online degrees and certificates, including options that might not be available locally. Pursuing an online degree opens up opportunities to specialized fields without geographical limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do employers respect degrees earned online?
There are many factors that go into answering this question. First, is your degree from an established college or university? When choosing a university, it is important that you find a school that has been accredited by either a regional or national agency. Generally, regional accreditation is more credible and valued. Since only accredited colleges or universities receive financial aid, you may find that your pocketbook will thank you as well.
How do I choose the right college for my career goals?
When it comes to choosing a college, you should take into account the type of job you are looking for and whether an online degree fits the job.
For example, you can get a degree in aviation, but without the required flight hours, you cannot get your pilot’s license. That is why Liberty University has Flight Affiliates throughout the nation that allow you to get the required flight time while progressing toward graduation. Some of our degrees also have intensives so that you can get face-to-face time with your professors and the chance to network with peers.
The fact that Liberty University has an established reputation as an accredited online college and a growing residential campus can also lend credibility to your degree.
These factors, as well as your reasons for getting a degree, could weigh heavily in your online college degree being taken seriously. Think about your choice for a degree and what it means for your future. Employers want not only a reputable degree — they want a qualified employee. Liberty University is an excellent place to earn a respected degree while becoming a principled, driven professional.
