AI Thread Summary
Attending college online can be a viable option, but it's essential to consider the credibility of the institution and the potential perception by employers. Many believe that while some online courses can complement traditional education, they should not completely replace in-person classes for an undergraduate degree. Researching student reviews and experiences can provide insight into the quality of online programs. It's important to evaluate personal circumstances and goals when deciding between online and traditional education. Ultimately, a balanced approach may be beneficial, combining both online and in-person learning experiences.

Hi,

I'm thinking of attending college online but i have no idea where to start? Does any of you have experience with online distance learning? What should i expect? Is it any good or I should just go to a traditional college.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
my gut has always said no, so I've never even bothered investigating the credibility.

Then I wonder how many employers feel the same way I do and decided it wasn't worth the risk.
 
For your undergrad degree, I say go the traditional route.
 
I think it's fine to do undergraduate work online, but not all the credits. For example, I have a business diploma and I took an online course to help finish it.

I wouldn't substitute all my real courses for online courses.

I will most likely be getting a Bachelor's of Commerce degree from an online school, but that's after completing a B. Sc. and two years of business school. I only need a few courses to get the degree now.
 
Hi, I don't know what your schedule is or the reason behind why you want to study online and not go to a traditional college. One way you can know if it's any good is by looking at what other students taking online classes have experienced. By reading online college reviews written by other online students can help you decide.

All the best.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
