Why study Online Classes at Becker College

Why Study Online?

  • It’s Flexible. You choose when to do the work – you arrive when you are prepared and ready to go. And you can choose where to work, in a place where you can be comfortable and concentrate.
  • It’s Self-paced. You chose not only when to work, but how long to work on a given chunk of material. You move on when ready.
  • It’s Repeatable. You can repeat and review material as necessary for you. Material doesn’t disappear when faculty leave a lecture hall. You can read/listen to/see material several times if needed to absorb the material.
  • It’s Respectable. Sure, some companies don’t like online degrees. But ones from accredited institutions like Becker are increasingly competitive. Many companies, as diverse as Northrup Grumman, United Parcel Service, Boeing, Johnson & Johnson, and Discovery Communication say that online degrees from accredited colleges do not limit options for any of their positions.
  • It’s Responsive. Feedback to students is not only constructive but timely. You don’t have to wait until the class hour to get that feedback.
  • It’s Engaged. Faculty are remote, but not detached. Faculty help you understand the information, determine its legitimacy, make connections with it, determine what is most important, see how it matters in your daily work … they don’t just feed you information, they interact with you. And you do interact with other students – you are engaged in a learning community.

Graduating from Becker College

It is hard to believe that I will be graduating from Becker College in several months. The time has gone so quickly its unbelievable. I can remember my first day at Becker walking alone to my classes, and I was very nervous. Though I got adjusted to the environment really fast, the professors and students were really nice and inviting.
Throughout my four years at Becker I have become a very responsible and determined student. I believe Becker has lead the way for me to reach my dream career. Along the way I meet many great students and teachers that have influence my life forever. After graduating from Becker College I will be very proud to say that I attended this great school.
