Online College Options Abound through the University System of Georgia's eCampus


Are you interested in taking online courses this Fall or Spring, but aren't exactly sure where to start? Or perhaps you've been considering transferring to a new school to finish out the rest of your studies. Maybe this is your first semester, and you're still trying to figure out where to enroll.

Several institutions, including the University System of Georgia's colleges and universities, offer distance learning programs. With these eLearning programs, you can enjoy the best of both worlds by working to complete your degree 100% online from the comfort of your home. Since you are able to enroll in these online programs from anywhere, your physical location does not hinder your choice of school.

Choosing a college is a life-altering decision- no pressure, right? - but making the decision does not have to be as overwhelming as we build it up to be. Consider what areas of study interest you, and research schools offering relevant programs.

If you are looking to transfer, be sure to look into how to apply transfer credits from your current school to your prospective choices. Take your time when scoping out schools so that you can feel confident when making your final decision. Many college and university admissions offices have shifted to hosting virtual info sessions and live chats, as well as live one-on-one meetings with any prospective students.
A great resource to use as a starting point to help you research degree programs is Georgia on My Line (GOML) website. Through GOML, you can find every online degree program available within the University System of Georgia, as well as which school offers it. In addition, be sure to check out the eMajor website for a full list of eCampus-supported online degree programs. If you are undecided on a degree program, you can still work on your core courses online through eCore. Visit the eCore website to see a list of all the courses you can take (bonus- the cost per credit hour is cheaper, and you won't have to buy textbooks)!
