For several years now, I have been planning on taking up a distance education course. My alma mater is actually offering one I’m interested in - a masters degree in Development Communication that doesn’t require a specific bachelor’s degree. The last time I checked, any four-year course and a year of work experience are enough credentials. Somehow, my work and other life stuff has kept me from pursuing this plan. This time, however, I must admit that it is the lack of initiative that’s been keeping me. I’ve been allowing my circmstances to hinder my goals, and for now I see no practical way of getting around it.
Anyway, not many universities offer online degree. I guess some may think that it diminishes the quality of education offered. I don’t really see it that way. An Online master degree is not really much different from one you acquire in a school setting. Well, of course, you have to consider the institution that provides the teaching and how well-equipped they are to provide the demands of distance/online teaching. For some who just don’t have the time to attend a regular school, studying online is a very god alternative.
You should take advantage of UP’s open university. Sabi ko nga kay Jane sya rin mag aral. Pero ako daw muna, baka hindi kayanin ng finances.
