The Sewing Mom

I may have mentioned that my daughter (a sophomore) and I visited with the high school college adviser recently. I know it seems early since we are still 3 years away from her high school graduation, but let me tell you, the competition to get into good colleges is really tough. It’s important to start narrowing down the search for where she may want to go to school so she can really focus on those particular schools and their entrance requirements. He gave us a lot of really good information and even mentioned the possibility of an online college education with one of many top online colleges.

Several years ago I had personally looked into finishing my degree online, but at the time, I just wasn’t sure it was a valid, acceptable way to go. Things have certainly changed. In fact, there are so many more brick & mortar colleges and universities offering an online education now, that it can definitely add to the number of colleges to be considered. It can also make it that much more confusing to choose, so it’s nice to find a site that actually as compiled in depth research of online college rankings to help narrow down that search as well. The rankings can be looked at according to different categories, things like acceptance rates, retention rates, scholarships and even student to faculty rations at the various online colleges<.

Seriously, while I’m researching colleges for my daughter, who knows, maybe I will finally find a way to finish my own degree!
