Distance Learning Helps Women Advance in Education, Says WorldWideLearn.com
With more women than men enrolled in four-year degree programs, women are expected to earn more degrees than men in the future according to WorldWideLearn.com, the online directory of education. Many women looking to advance their education are nontraditional students and are increasingly earning their degrees from online schools. WorldWideLearn.com has resources to help students choose the right distance learning program for their needs. Nontraditional students tend to be older, attend school part-time, work a full-time job, or be single parents. These students may also have dependents other than a spouse, be financially independent, or lack a high school diploma. Some of what has been considered nontraditional seems to be moving closer to the norm. At least 40 percent of students attend part-time and 58 percent are past the "traditional" college age according to statistics given by Peter Stokes of Eduventures.
