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)!

3 Things to Consider Before Taking an Online Class While Overseas

Online Learning allows students the flexibility of continuing their educational journey from anywhere in the world. Online classes are an excellent option for students who are studying abroad for the semester, military members and families who are stationed overseas, or even those who want to take classes while traveling for pleasure. While online classes can usually be accessed from anywhere with a reliable internet connection, there are some things to consider before registering for class if you intend to complete the course while located outside of the U.S.  Availability of a Reliable Internet Connection To access most online classes, students must have a reliable internet connection. This may be a challenge in some areas of the world due to various issues such as local network instability, outages, firewalls, or restrictive local internet policies. Before registering for an online class, research the internet accessibility situation in the area in which you pl

March Freebie: No Application Fee for Most USG Colleges and Universities

Free applications are back at more than 20 institutions in the University System of Georgia. During the month of March, potential students can apply for admissions to most USG institutions at no charge. By waiving fees, institutions are able to increase applicant pools and remove a financial barrier for those who might otherwise be reluctant to apply. Rates vary across institutions but savings can be significant. For a student applying at 10 USG institutions with average fees of $40, the savings would be $400.   Students may apply for as many schools as they wish. Most institutions will automatically waive the fee during the application process. A few require specific steps during the application process. Below is a listing of all participating USG institutions and additional instructions where needed.

Professor Broussard: This Georgia College Professor Teaches History from a Very Unique Point of View

Not only is Dr. Ray Broussard a UGA/USG eCore History professor still teaching in his 90s, but he’s also a World War II and Korean War veteran. eCampus visits Dr. Broussard’s home in Athens, Georgia for an update on his love of life and teaching. We last interviewed Dr. Broussard in 2012 , when we learned about his time in the Navy, his early teaching days, and his genuine surprise when he realized you really could teach History online. Today, he is not only the oldest, but also one of USG eCore’s most engaging instructors and consistently receives gushing comments from students in his course evaluations-- many who are amazed to learn world and United States history from someone who helped make the history. At 91 years old, Dr. Broussard and his wife (a retired high school history teacher), haven’t been up for traveling as much, so he invited us to visit with him at his home. We arrived at his peaceful, quaint little house on the Eastside of Athens where he eagerly welc
