Is an online format comparable to the traditional residential, on campus format of classes?
Yes. Numerous studies have proven that distance learners perform as well or better than their on-campus counterparts. In the book, The No Significant Difference Phenomenon, author Thomas L. Russell cites 355 research reports, papers, and summaries dating back to 1928 that found no significant difference between online and in-class learning. Where a difference was identified, it generally favored the online student. Many employers look very favorably on the fact that online students have the discipline to manage their own schedule and work simultaneously. Employers typically support online programs and their employees’ enrollment in Liberty University’s programs. In addition, Liberty University has identified that its 8-week online format is the most effective vehicle for distance education.
