Only about fifty-five percent of students complete degree programs within six years.
Adults returning to college are normally a far better bet for success than students more recently out of high school because of their maturity, life experience, and strong goal-orientation.
With the growth of online education, students have more and better choices than ever before.
Accreditation can be pretty confusing, particularly as it applied to online colleges and universities. And, sometimes accreditation is confused with state licensure, which is not the same thing at all.
Maybe you're not the potential All-American college coaches dream about.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average U.S. full time worker earns $676 a week. You will probably not be shocked to learn that the Department of Labor found a direct correlation between workers' educational level and their earning power. Workers who had failed to complete high school earned about $396 a week, nearly $300 less than the overall average. High school graduates who did not attend college earned $562 a week on average, and workers with at least a college undergraduate degree earned about $1,000 a week, $325 above the overall average.
College admission is, in its simplest form, a numbers game. In fact, while some would call it a kind of lottery, lotteries offer almost no chance of success to those who participate in them, while quite the opposite is true of college admission. There are nearly 3,500 colleges and universities in the United States (counting two and four year institutions) so students have no shortage of options.
Not all online colleges and universities are alike. The more colleges you check out, the better the chance you will find the one best for you.
It's not uncommon to be worried about getting into college. In fact, worrying about college admission has become a national epidemic.
