It rubs me the wrong way when I hear someone refer to a degree acquired through distance education as an "online degree". I make a distinction between online and distance degrees.
When I think of "online degrees", I think of degrees from a number of for-profit universities (the most popular of which are American) who don't even make it on any of the world university ranking lists.
Distance education, on the other hand, is characterized, in my opinion, by programmes from well respected brick and mortar universities whose requirements and content are equal to their on-campus programmes. |
Fair point and I was using the term online degree to describe a degree earned through Distance Education. |
