Remote learning has skyrocketed in popularity since the early 2010s. Today, most college and university students in the U.S. take at least some classes online.
Online degrees have a broad reach, encompassing new higher education concepts like microcredentials and massive open online courses (MOOCs), along with traditional college degrees.
Distance learners, too, are a diverse group. As a remote student, your peers may include traditional college-age students, working parents, military service members, established professionals and lifelong learners.
